Abstract

This study is purposed to measure airborne asbestos concentrations at demolition sites and surrounding areas of asbestos containing buildings in Seoul and examine whether the measurement results correspond with allowable exhaust standard for asbestos of the Asbestos Safety Control Act. The airborne asbestos concentrations for 37 sites were below the detection limit ($7fiber/mm^2$) in 101 (35%) out of 288 samples. The whole average airborne asbestos concentration in 37 sites was $0.003{\pm}0.002f/cc$(max 0.0013 f/cc) and almost the whole airborne asbestos concentrations were satisfied with allowable exhaust standard for asbestos, 0.01 f/cc, of the Asbestos Safety Control Act. So possibility of asbestos exposure is not yet a major concern at current levels for sites demolished of asbestos containing buildings in Seoul. Looking at each sampling point, the average airborne asbestos concentrations in boundary line of site, entrance of sanitation, around the workplace (in), around the workplace (out), negative pressure units, storage area for waste, outlet for waste and residential area of residents were respectively $0.002{\pm}0.002f/cc$, $0.004{\pm}0.002f/cc$, $0.004{\pm}0.002f/cc$, $0.004{\pm}0.002f/cc$, $0.004{\pm}0.002f/cc$, $0.005{\pm}0.004f/cc$, $0.005{\pm}0.003f/cc$ and $0.003{\pm}0.002f/cc$. As a result, all sampling points of study were satisfied with allowable exhaust standard for asbestos, 0.01 f/cc, of the Asbestos Safety Control Act.

본 연구에서는 석면해체 제거작업에 따른 작업자 및 주변 환경에 미치는 영향 등을 파악하기 위해 서울시내 건축물 석면해체 제거 사업장을 대상으로 공기 중 석면농도를 조사하고, 측정결과가 "석면안전관리법"에서 명시된 사업장 주변의 석면배출허용기준에 적합한지를 살펴보았다. 서울시내 총 37개소 석면해체 제거 사업장에서 총 288개의 공기 중 시료를 분석하였으며, 전체 288개 시료 중 101개 시료에서(35%) 검출한계($7fiber/mm^2$) 이하로 나타났다. 이 때 전체 공기 중 석면농도 평균값은 $0.003{\pm}0.002f/cc$로(최대 0.013 f/cc) 대부분의 공기 중 석면농도는 "석면안전관리법"에서 명시된 사업장 주변의 석면배출허용기준 0.01 f/cc 이하로 나타나 서울시내 건축물 석면해체 제거 사업장에서의 석면 노출가능성은 우려할 수준이 아닌 것으로 판단된다. 채취지점별로 살펴보면, 부지경계선(148개), 위생설비입구(25개), 작업장주변(실내)(7개), 작업장주변(실외)(11개)에 대한 공기 중 석면농도 결과, 각각 53개(36%), 5개(20%), 1개(14%), 4개(36%) 시료에서 검출한계 이하로 나타났으며 평균농도는 각각 $0.002{\pm}0.002f/cc$(최대 0.008 f/cc), $0.004{\pm}0.002f/cc$(최대 0.009 f/cc), $0.004{\pm}0.002f/cc$(최대 0.007 f/cc), $0.004{\pm}0.002f/cc$로(최대 0.008 f/cc) 나타났다. 또한 음압기(13개), 폐기물보관지점(27개), 폐기물반출구(9개), 거주자주거지역(48개)에 대한 공기 중 석면농도 결과, 각각 3개(23%), 8개(30%), 2개(22%), 25개(52%) 시료에서 검출한계 이하로 나타났으며 평균농도는 각각 $0.004{\pm}0.002f/cc$(최대 0.009 f/cc), $0.005{\pm}0.004f/cc$(최대 0.013 f/cc), $0.005{\pm}0.003f/cc$(최대 0.009 f/cc), $0.003{\pm}0.002f/cc$0로(최대 0.009 f/cc) 나타났다.
