Poor air quality inside vehicles and its impact on human health is an issue requiring attention, with drivers and passengers facing levels of air pollution potentially greater than street-side outdoor air. This paper assesses the potential effectiveness of a car cabin filtration system to remove fine particulate matter PM2.5and improve air quality for car passengers. The study was conducted as a practical evaluation coupled to a model implementation. First, the effectiveness of PM2.5filter material was investigated in a chamber experiment under a range of environmental and loading conditions using a realistic automotive auxiliary scrubber. Second, implementation of such a system was evaluated in a full air flow 3D computational fluid dynamical model configured for a realistic cabin and ventilation system, and related to the chamber results through a simple decay model. Additionally, performance of low-cost dust sensors was evaluated as potential cabin monitoring devices. The experiment and modeling support the feasibility of a robust system which could be integrated into automotive designs in a straightforward manner. Results suggest that an auxiliary scrubber in the rear of the cabin alone would provide suboptimal performance, but that by incorporating a PM2.5filter into the main air handling system, cabin PM2.5concentrations could be reduced from 100µg m−3to less than 25µg m−3in 100 s and to 5µg m−3in 250 s. A health impact assessment for hypothetical occupational driver populations using such technology long term showed considerable reductions in indicative PM2.5attributable mortality.Copyright © 2018 The Authors.
