Indoor air quality control for improving passenger health in subway platforms using an outdoor air quality dependent ventilation system

A review of traditional and advanced technologies for the removal of particulate matter in subway systems

“…The technologies using a ventilation fan have been studied in conjunction with the methods using the time schedule and artificial intelligence, which is outside the limitations of the conventional manual type operation. 71 Kim et al 61 proposed a new indoor air quality (IAQ) ventilation system that takes into account the outdoor atmosphere to control the PM 10 concentration in the platform. 50 In addition, a method of predicting indoor air quality in the subway platform using an artificial neural network technique and operating the ventilation facility has been investigated.…”

Indoor air pollution and exposure assessment of the gulf cooperation council countries: A critical review

“…Indoor air pollution is a serious health problem as it causes about 4.5 million annual deaths globally resulting from pneumonia (12%), stroke (34%), ischemic heart diseases (IHD) (26%), chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) (22%), and lung cancer (LC) (6%) (Amoatey et al, 2017;Tageldin et al, 2012;Thurston et al, 2016;WHO, 2018). Indoor air pollution has been extensively studied in homes (Morawska et al, 2017;Rohra and Taneja, 2016), schools (Cai et al, 2015;Forns et al, 2017), hospitals (Cabo Verde et al, 2015;Wang et al, 2015b), offices (Azuma et al, 2018;Song et al, 2015), restaurants (Dai et al, 2018;Fazlzadeh et al, 2015), and subway metros (Kim et al, 2015;Xu and Hao, 2017). However, indoor air pollution continues to be a global problem, especially in developing countries.…”

A Practical Approach to the Real Time Prediction of PM10for the Management of Indoor Air Quality in Subway Stations

“…There have recently been a number of studies on IAQ in subways, but a limited amount of research work on the IAQ prediction for real time ventilation control [1,2,3,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. Among them, a research team at Kyung Hee University has been most actively and comprehensively carrying out various analysis and model development studies on IAQ in subways for the last few years [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31].…”

“…In subways, the management of indoor air quality (IAQ) raises both legislative concerns and scientific interests because poor IAQ can immediately and seriously cause harmful effects on human health in underground facilities such as subways [1][2][3][4][5][6]. IAQ is defined with the measurements of various air pollutants.…”
