Gas sensing device designed for environmental decontamination with simultaneous alert emission

Abstract

Breathing naturally produces CO2, which means that the presence of people or animals inside the passenger compartment of a vehicle can be detected. In the presence of at least one occupant, in as little as five minutes, the concentration of carbon dioxide can become dangerous. To remediate high concentrations of carbon dioxide within the passenger compartment, a warning is provided that instructs any occupant to start the vehicle. Should the vehicle not be started within a predetermined period of time after the warning, certain automatic remediation actions are taken, provided that the battery of the vehicle retains enough power to start the vehicle. If the automatic remediation actions fail to lower the levels of carbon dioxide, then all available power is utilized to reduce the levels of carbon dioxide and to bring assistance to the occupants of the vehicle.
