An Experimental Study on the Properties of Cement Matrix for Improving Indoor Air Quality by Phytoncide

실내 공기질 개선을 위해 피톤치드를 혼입한 시멘트 경화체 특성에 관한 실험적 연구

Formaldehyde has been classified as a first-class carcinogen by international cancer research organizations. Formaldehyde causes various diseases such as sick house syndrome, building syndrome, chemical sensitivity etc. Formaldehyde is diffused from building materials and furniture. It has been published that research of phytoncide can reduce formaldehyde. In this study, we used phytoncide with cement matrix to reduce formaldehyde. As a result, the cement matrix strengths was increased slightly and formaldehyde has been reduced over time.
