초록

본 연구는 서울지역 지하철역 실내 공기 중 라돈분포를 조사하여 그 발생원을 추적 확인하기 위하여 수행되었다. 1998년부터 2004년까지 232개 역사를 대상으로 알파비적검출기를 사용하여 실내 공기 중 장기라돈을 측정하였으며 지하수중 라돈농도는 알파입자계수법에 의하여 측정하였다. 라돈의 주 발생원을 추적하기 위하여 8개 역사를 선정하여 각 역사의 승강장과 인접터널에 대한 공기 중 라돈농도를 조사하였다. 전체역사에 대한 라돈농도 분석결과 기하평균 및 산술평균은 각각 $1.40{\pm}1.94pCi/L,\;1.65{\pm}1.07$였으며, 승강장과 매표소의 기하평균은 각각 $1.54{\pm}1.96pCi/L,\;1.23{\pm}1.88pCi/L$로 승강장에서의 라돈농도가 매표소의 농도보다 더 높게 나타났다. 지질구조와 지하역사의 라돈분포는 밀접한 상관성을 보였으며 터널내부와 지하수중의 라돈농도는 역사 승강장의 라돈농도에 크게 영향을 미치고 있었다. 또한 역사의 승강장이 위치하고 있는 깊이 정도에 따라 라돈농도의 차이를 보였다(p<0.05).

Indoor radon($^{222}Rn$) concentrations of subway stations in Seoul area were measured to survey the environmental indoor radon levels and to identify sources of radon. The radon concentration of indoor air by method of long-term measuring with a-track detector were surveyed at 232 subway stations from 1998 to 2004. And the radon concentration in ground-water was measured with a method of alpha particle counting. To trace main source of radon, 8 out of 232 stations were selected and their radon concentrations in tunnel and on platform were analyzed. Total geometric mean and arithmetic mean of radon concentrations in all stations from 1998 to 2004 were $1.40{\pm}1.94pCi/L,\;1.65{\pm}1.07$ respectively. Geometric means of radon concentrations on platform and concourse were $1.54{\pm}1.96pCi/L,\;1.23{\pm}1.88pCi/L$ respectively, with higher concentration at the platform than at the concourse. The geological structure was significantly correlated to the indoor radon concentration in subway stations region. Radon concentrations of adjacent tunnel and ground-water of subway station was significantly correlated to the indoor radon concentration in subway stations. And There was a significant difference in radon concentration, depending on the depth levels in platform of subway stations(p<0.05).
