Air pollution is a significant problem in city centers. According to public health care in Poland, there is a need for local authorities to propose good purification solutions in both outdoor and indoor conditions. The main objective of this study is the development of an appropriate filtration system for public transport, especially for buses and bus stops. Firstly, the authors justify the need for air filtration in the capital of Poland, Warsaw. The average concentration level of PM10 and PM2.5 dust particles in large Polish cities is presented. In addition, it is underlined that PM2.5 dust particles are carriers for coronavirus COVID-19 and easily inhaled by humans. In the next step, the authors introduce an experimental stand used in the examination of different filtration baffles. The filtration efficiency is defined and calculated according to experimental examinations. In these experiments, an antismog cover for air-conditioning split systems, an H13 HEPA filter and a three-stage filtration baffle (active carbon + F5 filter + EPA11 filter) were taken into consideration, and the efficiency of filtration under pressure-drop conditions and the influence of moisture were ascertained. The best filter setup was thereby determined to be the three-stage filtration baffle, being the most efficient in cleaning air on account of having the smallest mass concentration of PM2.5. This indicates that three-stage filtration is the most suitable air-filtration method for public transportation in cities where air pollution is a serious concern.
