Investigation of Failures and Vulnerabilities in Road Traffic Air Quality Management System during 2020 Pandemics

Abstract

Air deterioration and high toxicity affects life quality and longevity. Most important is pollution and toxicity impact upon health and disease management. Air born sicknesses and health problems are a permanent challenge for air dependent life-forms. Lately have been recorded manifestations and a complex phenomenology of air partially transferred pathogenic agents. The air quality is subject to investigation in order to provide a better management of the pollution control system. Pollution is a major contributor to air quality deterioration and to health problem multiplication. Present day pandemic is thought to be partially transmitted through air and by direct contact. Low air quality may be a serious contributing factor to sickness promotion. Air pollution due to road traffic and livestock is one such factor. The main objective of the paper is to investigate some important failures and vulnerabilities recorded in the road traffic air quality monitoring system during 2020 pandemics in our country and in Cluj. Thus, the evolution of chemical composition has been put under the spot of scientific investigation. Failures and weak points have been acknowledged and considered for improvement. At least twelve significant system failures and multiple vulnerabilities have been recorded due to sensor faults and unit malfunction. Social lockdown reduced all pollutants, but some units failed to indicate it properly.
