초록

점화원이 무엇이든 화염의 확산과 인체에 영향을 미치는 직접적인 요소는 가연물이다. 음악학원, 노래방 등에서 사용하고 있는 마감재인 흡음재는 폴리우레탄으로 구성되며 연소 시 다량의 유독가스를 발생한다는 것은 알려진 사실이다. 그럼에도 현행법은 학원의 경우 수용인원 100명 미만의 경우 난연 마감재를 사용해야 한다는 강행규정이 없다. 본 연구에서는 실제 음악학원에 설치된 흡음재를 수거하여 실화재 연소실험을 통해 화염확산 속도를 측정하였으며, MultiRaelite 복합가스 측정기(타겟물질 VOC, HCHO, SO2, CO2, CO, HCN, NO2)를 이용하여 유독가스를 측정한 결과 Time weighted average (TWA)와 Short term exposure limit (STEL)의 허용농도를 초과하여 기기한계값이 측정되었다. 또한 시중에 판매중인 난연 흡음재와 비난연 흡음재를 비교 연소 실험한 결과, 착화 및 확산에 있어 현격한 차이를 보였다. 따라서 실험결과를 바탕으로 수용인원 100명 미만의 학원에도 난연 마감재 사용을 강제할 필요가 있음을 제언하고자 한다.

Regardless of the ignition source, the main factors affecting the spread of flames to the human body are combustibles. The sound absorption material, which is the finishing material used in music institutes and karaoke rooms, consists of polyurethane that generates a large amount of toxic gas with a high amount of combustion gases during a fire. Still, the current law does not require the use of impregnated finishing materials for tutoring services with less than 100 users. In this study, the rate of flame diffusion was measured using the MultiRaelite composite gas measuring instrument (target substance VOC, HCHO, SO2, CO2, CO, HCN, and NO2) for the collection of sound-absorbing materials installed in the actual music academy. The results showed that the toxic gas found in this experiment exceeded the allowable concentration of TWA (Time Weighted Average) and STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit). In addition, a comparative combustion test of the general sound absorber and non-combustion sound absorbing materials on the market showed wide differences in ignition and diffusion. Therefore, based on the results of the experiment, private institutes with less than 100 users should be mandated to use non-combustion sound absorbing materials.
