Abstract

A pilot study was conducted in order to investigate the concentration of formaldehyde at elementary school, middle school, the high school (108 classrooms) located in Chungchong-namdo during February - September, 2006. Also, divide by (45 classroom) General Classroom and (63 classrooms) Stateroom. The average concentrations of formaldehyde(HCHO) in the general classroom was high by $22.87\;{\pm}\;20.61\;{\mu}g/m^3$ elementary school, $22.08\;{\pm}\;12.70\;{\mu}g/m^3$ high school, $13.58\;{\pm}\;6.60\;{\mu}g/m^3$ middle school. The average concentrations of formaldehyde(HCHO) in the Stateroom was high by $27.58\;{\pm}\;30.5{\mu}g/m^3$ elementary school, $22.03\;{\pm}\;19.12\;{\mu}g/m^3\;22.87\;{\pm}\;20.61\;{\mu}g/m^3$ middle school, $24.92\;{\pm}\;28.15\;{\mu}g/m^3$ high school. There was correlation between formaldehyde concentrations and temperature, humidity in general classroom (P<0.05).
