Car Dealerships
Car dealerships with indoor parking face distinct challenges related to air quality and safety due to the potential buildup of hazardous gases such as carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). CO is emitted from vehicle exhaust and is highly toxic, while NO2, produced by engine combustion, can cause respiratory issues, including lung inflammation and aggravated asthma. If not properly monitored, these gases can accumulate to dangerous levels, posing significant health risks to both employees and customers. OSHA standards, such as 29 CFR 1910.1000, regulate permissible exposure limits for these gases, making continuous monitoring in enclosed spaces like showrooms and service areas essential to maintain safe air quality.
In addition to prioritizing health and safety, dealerships must comply with local building codes and regulations set by authorities having jurisdiction. The International Mechanical Code (IMC) provides best practices for ventilation and gas monitoring, but the enforceable codes can vary by region. Gas detection systems, such as electrochemical sensors specifically designed for CO and NO2, play a critical role in identifying early signs of gas accumulation. These systems enable ventilation systems to adjust accordingly, ensuring safe air quality. This proactive approach helps dealerships stay compliant with local regulations while safeguarding the health of both employees and customers, preventing harmful gas buildup in indoor spaces.
