Underground Parking Lots

In the underground parking lots with artificial ventilation, toxic or dangerous conditions can be created.

GASES INVOLVED

Petrol vapors (C6H14 – C8H18): petrol is usually a mix of paraffin hydrocarbons like hexane and octane in variable proportion, and its vapors can spread in a parking lot because of a broken car tank. Even a small quantity is dangerous because of the high flammability of this substance.

Carbon monoxide (CO): it is one of the first products of combustion of internal combustion engines. In a place where many vehicles are parked, their contemporary movement can engender toxic atmospheres.

EXPECTED RISKS

C6H14 – C8H18: Gasoline is extremely flammable, even by a simple spark

CO: carbon dioxide is a compressed colorless, odourless, tasteless and poisonous gas. Even short exposures to carbon dioxide may reduce oxygen concentration in brain so the victim falls unconscious and dies.
