Abstract
Airborne particles emitted from geologic media pose threat to human health and the environment worldwide due to expansion of infrastructure development to serve increasing population. Currently, most people make a living indoors. We know indoor atmosphere has a great effects to human's health. So we need to know a method of measuring the dust emission rate. We devised dust emission and measuring machine. This machine is connected to an acrylic box and an optical particle counter(OPC). A dust is originated by scratching machine in the box. Then dust emission rate, dust size and numbers are measured by OPC. The main aim of this study is standardization of the dust emission rate for textile coverings using this data.
