Abstract

This study investigated the emissions characteristics of air freshener using small emission chamber method. The emission of VOCs from air freshener were determined in the small chambers in the temperature (25, $30({\pm}1)^{\circ}C$), relative humidity ($50{\pm}5%$), ventilation rate (0.3, 0.5, ($0.8({\pm}0.005)/hr$), and sample loading factor ($1.4{\sim}551.0g/m^2$) in this study. The emission tests from air freshener for sample loading factor resulted in TVOC emission rates of $0.7{\sim}64.4mg/m^2{\cdot}h$ after 5 hours. For most target VOCs such as limonene, ${\alpha}$-pinene and linalool, higher temperature and ventilation rate levels exhibited increased emission rates.

소형방출챔버를 이용하여 반응조건(시료량, 온도, 환기횟수)에 따라 방향제에서 방출되는 휘발성 유기화합물의 배출특성을 조사하였다. 시료부하량($1.4{\sim}551.0g/m^2$)에 따라 방향제에서 방출되는 TVOC 방출량은 방출시험 5시간 후 $0.7{\sim}64.4mg/m^2{\cdot}hr$로 나타났다. Limonene, ${\alpha}$-pinene과 linalool 등 방향제에서 방출된 주요 휘발성 유기화합물은 온도와 환기횟수가 클수록 방출량이 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 이들 연구결과는 방향제와 같은 생활용품의 오염물질 방출시험방법 및 방출기준을 정립하기 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 생각된다.
