Abstract—This paper presents a solution to the growing concern of high concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) inside vehicle cabins, which pose various health risks to individuals. As individuals spend a significant amount of time in vehicle conditions, they are continuously exposed to a variety of airborne chemicals. The emission of VOCs increases with temperature, but not directly for each mixture, making it a challenging problem to address. To address this issue, a fully automatic system is proposed, consisting of a gas sensor that measures the VOC levels inside the vehicle cabin and compares them with pre-programmed exposure standards in an Arduino processor. If the VOC levels exceed the standard, the Arduino signal activates the power window motor and AC fan simultaneously, rapidly extracting the harmful VOCs present in the cabin. By implementing this system, individuals can minimize their exposure to harmful chemicals while commuting, improving their overall health and well-being.
