This involved the use of a sandwich filter (~10 cm diameter) made of a nonwoven poly (m-phenylene isophthalamide) (Nomex) fabric loaded with a thin layer of activated carbon. The optimized filter, with an activated carbon mass of 2.89 mg\/cm2, a thickness of 4.8 mm, and an air permeability of 0.5 cm3\/cm2\/s, was tested. A simple homemade sampling device equipped with solid-state electrochemical sensors to monitor the concentration levels of CO2 before and after filtration of the emissions was utilized. The data were transmitted via a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) link to an Internet of Things (IoT)-based gas monitoring system for remote management, and real-time data visualization. The proposed device achieved a 70 \u00b1 3.4% CO2-removal efficiency within 7 min of operation. Characterization of the filter was conducted using a high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and Brunauer\u2013Emmett\u2013Teller (BET) analysis. The effects of loaded activated carbon mass, fabric type, filter porosity, gaseous removal time, and adsorption kinetics were also examined. The proposed filter displayed several advantages, including simplicity, compactness, dry design, ease of regeneration, scalability, durability, low cost, and good efficiency. Heat resistance, fire retardancy, mechanical stability, and the ability to remove other gasoline combustion products such as CO, SOx, NOx, VOCs, and particulates were also offered. The filtration system enabled both in situ and on-line CO2 real-time continuous emission monitoring.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym17111447","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,23]],"date-time":"2025-05-23T06:35:09Z","timestamp":1747982109000},"page":"1447","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Eco-Friendly Removal and IoT-Based Monitoring of CO2 Emissions Released from Gasoline Engines Using a Novel Compact Nomex\/Activated Carbon Sandwich Filter"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Saad S.
