The levels of different atmospheric pollutants present in two designs of car parks (with low or high vehicle occupancy) in Madrid, Spain, have been ana lysed. In both types of park, the concentrations of thoracic particles, lead, poly cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide measured were potential ly dangerous to health. Control of the intensity of the ventilation based only on the concentration of carbon monoxide measurements in the car parks is not sufficient to control the level of other pollutants emitted by vehicles.

Key Words: Atmospheric pollution • Vehicles • Car parks • Carbon monoxide • PM10
