Abstract: The present invention relates to a micro-zone air-quality control system and method for maintaining localized clean-air regions within an enclosed environment are disclosed. The system integrates a data acquisition module that collects pollution concentration and airflow parameters from multiple sensing and modeling sources, and a spatial pollution mapping module that generates a fine-resolution representation of pollutant distribution and airflow patterns. A dispersion simulation engine predicts temporal evolution of pollutants under varying conditions, while a breathing-zone risk evaluation module identifies localized micro-zones where pollutant levels exceed predefined thresholds relative to occupant breathing regions. An airflow control planner determines optimized strategies for airflow, filtration, redirection, or isolation to protect occupant breathing zones, and a feedback controller continuously updates control actions based on real-time environmental changes. An environmental control interface executes these actions through physical ventilation and air-management components, thereby dynamically regulating airflow to isolate polluted zones and maintain clean-air micro-zones around occupants in a closed-loop manner.
