Abstract This study evaluated the removal performance of air precursor substances using a wall drainage panel embedded with coconut shell powder and zeolite beads in an actual underground parking environment without ultraviolet exposure. The experimental results showed that the average concentrations of NOX and SOX were highest during periods of heavy vehicle traffic and on days with elevated outdoor fine dust levels, but decreased by 53% and 51%, respectively, after the installation of the wall panel. The average daily removal efficiencies of NOX and SOX were 58% and 54%, respectively, and the fine dust grade improved from “poor” to “good.” In addition, both coconut shell powder and zeolite beads maintained stable removal performance even after nine months of installation. Therefore, the wall drainage panel incorporating coconut shell powder and zeolite beads is considered an effective and eco-friendly technique for reducing air precursor pollutants in underground parking facilities.
