Abstract

Background: It was to develop an air purification system (APS) using an underground air purification layer to verify the effect of basalt forest's underground air (sumgol) on a volcanic Jeju. Finally, it is necessary to analyze these purified air components and their usefulness to the human body in an air experience center. Purpose: It was to collect basalt forest air, analyze its composition, and explore its effect on the human body. Methods: We APS devices installed at four points in the Papaville area of Jeju. The air discharged from the APS was collected and analyzed the recycling components. An installed experience room filled with negative ions is about 5,000 ions/m3. After allowing the participants to stay for 60 to 120 minutes, we investigated the state of blood vessels. Results: In the analysis of the underground air, the O2 concentration was 21.18%, which was higher than the average oxygen concentration of 20.94% in the atmosphere. However, Formaldehyde was not detected, and the CO2 was 419 ppm, which was lower than that of indoor air. The PM2.5 concentration was less than 24 ㎍/m3 and detected anions over 5.000 /m3. The experiencer's vascular states improved, and the increase in pulse rate and stress relief were high. Conclusions: The valuable ingredients identified by analyzing the air were precious for natural healing. The experience results showed that it effectively improved the pulse rate, blood vessels, and stress. These conditions may be highly beneficial as a new area for expanding the basalt lava forest in the Jeju area into the natural healing and wellness industry.

배경: 제주도 화산섬 지하자원인 현무암 "숲" 지하 공기(숨골)의 효과를 검증하기 위하여 '지하 공기정화 층을 이용한 공기정화시스템(APS)'을 개발한 후에 정화 공기 체험장을 설치하였다. 이 정화 공기를 채취하여 분석하고 인체에 유용성에 관한 탐색연구가 필요하다. 목적:현무암 "숲" 지하 공기(숨골)를 APS로 채취하여 성분을 분석하고, 이 공기를 체험한 후에 인체에 미치는 영향을 탐색하는 것이었다. 방법: 제주도의 파파빌레 지역의 4개의 지점에 APS 장치를 설치하였다. APS에서 배출하는 지하 공기를 채집하여 자원화 성분을 분석하였다. 또한 공기 밀폐 연구 체험장을 지상에 설치하였으며, 이 체험장의 음이온 농도는 5,000 ions/m3정도이었고, 체험자들이 60~120분 정도 머무르게 한 후에 혈관 상태를 조사하였다. 결과: 현무암 '숲' 지하 공기를 채취하여 분석한 결과는 O2 농도는 21.18%로 대기의 평균 산소 농도 20.94%보다 높았다. 폼알데하이드는 검출되지 아니하였고, CO2농도는 419 ppm으로 실내공기보다 낮았다. 미세먼지(PM2.5) 농도는 24 ㎍/ms 이하였으며, 음이온도 5.000 ions/m3 이상 검출되었다. 체험한 사람들의 혈관 건강 지수 개선되었고, 평균 맥박의 증가 및 스트레스 해소 등의 효과가 높게 나타났다. 결론: 현무암 "숲" 지하공기(숨골)를 분석하여 규명한 유용한 성분은 자연치유 등에 활용할 가치가 높았고, 체험한 결과에서는 맥박의 증진, 혈관과 스트레스 개선에 효과를 나타냈다. 이러한 조건은 제주지역의 현무암 숲이 자연치유와 웰니스 산업으로 확장하기 위한 새로운 지역이라고 높게 평가할 수 있다.
