Constantly increasing amount of cars causes significant deterioration of air quality. Emission of harmful substances such as aromatic hydrocarbons or soot has negative influence for human health, especially for the respiratory system. Pollutants from engine vehicles are emitted at the people living height and, especially in cities, could cumulated because of weak ventilation among the street canyons made by buildings and infrastructure. Dynamic development of motorization and people lifestyle make the time spent inside the car is getting longer. Fumes and other air pollutants can get into the car cabin, what is extremely dangerous for driver and passengers. The pollutants inside the vehicle can also accumulate and if cabin is not well ventilated, the concentrations of them could be really high. It cause changing the microclimate inside the car cabin and has negative influence on the people staying inside the car, such as lowering of comfort and focus of driver and health effects. Previous studies have shown that the highest concentration of most of the pollutants in the vehicle cabin is located at the height of the driver's head. Of course, it depends on many factors like type (category) of vehicle or geometry of nozzles in the ventilation system. The study aim was to define concentration of volatile organic compounds in an E segment vehicle cabin by using computational fluid dynamic simulation.
