A Study of the Air Quality in Underground Car Parks with Emphasis on Carbon Monoxide and Airborne Lead

The concentrations of carbon monoxide and airborne lead in three enclosed underground car parks in Kuala Lumpur were measured simultaneously with traffic flow for a period of three months. The measurements were taken at a height of 1. 5 m from the ground for a duration of8 - 13 hours. A large var...
