Abstract
Recently, people interest in environmental pollution and attempt to improve the indoor air quality contaminated with various pollutants since it is very important to construct healthy and comfortable living environment. In the current study, we used the technology that has first received the certification of green technology for improving the removal efficiency of malodor causing substances. This green technology is a new technology to increase the reactivity of the odorous substances with OH radicals for oxidation reaction by using an infrared lamp in the existing air purification system. Comparing the efficiency of the green technology with the infrared lamp to that of the existing technology of air cleaner, there was a difference in the decomposition efficiency depending on the initial concentrations and speciation of the odorous substances. The removal efficiencies of contaminants were enhanced by 16.9 and 13.2% at low and high concentrations, respectively.
