우리나라는 인구대비 좁은 국토면적과 수출제조업 중심의 산업구조로 단위면적당 대기오염물질 배출부하가 높을 수 밖에 없는 것이 현실이다. 게다가 바람이 주로 물어오는 방향인 서쪽에 세계의 공장으로 불리는 중국이 위치하고 있어 대기질 관리를 더욱 어렵게 하고 있다. 이러한 상황 속에서도 정부는 국민들이 편안히 숨 쉴 수 있는 깨끗한 공기를 만들기 위해 많은 노력을 하고 있다.

Recently, people is interested in the indoor air pollution because of the well-being life. One of the effective way to remove the air pollutants is to use the eco-friendly houseplants. Eco-friendly houseplants absorb substances out of the stomata in their leaves and improve the indoor environment by plant emission such as phytochemical, anion, etc. In this paper, Eco-Amenity IT system is discussed which provide the data about the eco-friendly plants and related management information depending on the indoor air pollutants.

People who spend most of their day indoors are continuously exposed to internally and externally generated indoor pollutants. According to a 2022 report from the World Health Organization (WHO), air pollution is the cause of more than 7 million deaths annually worldwide, emphasizing the seriousness of indoor air pollutants. Air pollutants include nitrogen oxides (NOx), formaldehyde (HCHO), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which have serious effects on the human body. Photocatalyst is a material that can remove these indoor air pollutants. Photocatalysts not only have the ability to remove dust precursors, but also have antibacterial, sterilizing, and deodorizing functions, making them effective in improving indoor air quality. This study suggests areas and methods in which photocatalysts can be applied to buildings. Fields of application include interior and exterior construction materials such as concrete, as well as organic paints and ventilation devices. If appropriate utilization plans are developed, it may be possible to improve the built environment through reduced indoor and outdoor pollutant levels.

실내공기 정화를 목적으로 하는 에어컨이나 공기청정기 등의 경우 사용시간이 길어질수록 공기 정화용 필터에 오염물질이 축적되고 수많은 세균이 필터에 증식하게 되며, 이에 대한 유효한 살균방법 중의 하나인 오존살균방법을 이용하게 된다. 오존은 강력한 살균력과 단시간의 환원작용으로 인해 이차적인 잔류 오염물질을 남기지 않는다는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 선대 그물형 전극을 적용한 실내필터 살균용 오존 발생장치의 선전극 개수에 따른 살균을 위한 최적의 오존 발생 특성에 대한 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과, 실내필터 살균을 위한 최적의 오존농도는 약 2[ppm] 정도가 요구되므로, 본 오존 발생장치의 경우 선전극이 7개이고 인가전압이 18[kV]일 때 1.134[W]의 전력으로 3.527[ppm/W]의 오존을 발생시켰다.

항공기나 발전용 가스터빈(gas turbine) 및 대용량 압축기(compressor) 등과 같이 흡입공기의 유량이 매우 클 경우, 유입되는 공기 내부에 함유된 입자상 오염물질은 터빈의 기계적 성능에 큰 장애를 일으킬 수 있다(Klink and Schroth, 1996, Schroth, 1993). 이러한 입자상 오염물질을 효과적으로 제어하기 위해서는 처리기체의 유입구 부분에 대형 공기 정화용 여과시스템이 요구되며, 일반적으로 카트리지형 에어 필터(cartridge air filter)나 포켓형(pocket), 카세트형(cassette) 에어 필터가 적용 현장의 조건에 따라 사용된다.

Soil vapor extraction (SVE) is known to be an effective process to remove the contaminants from the soils by enhancing the vaporization of organic compounds using forced vapor flows or applying vacuum through soils. Experiments are carried out to investigate the effects of the organic contaminants, types of soils, and water contents on the removal efficiency with operating time. In the study, simulated soils include the glass bead which has no micropore, sand and molecular sieve which has a large volume of micropores. As model organic pollutants, toluene, methyl ethyl ketone, and trichloroethylene are selected. Desorption experiments are conducted by flowing nitrogen gas. Under the experimental conditions, it is found that there are linear relationships between logarithm of removal efficiency and logarithm of number of pore volumes. The number of pore volumes are defined as the total amount of air flow through the soil column divided by the pore volume of soil column. For three organic compounds studied, the removal rate is slow for no water content, while the number of pore volumes for removal of organic compounds are notably reduced for water contents up to 37%. For the removal of dense organic compound, such as trichloroethylene, a large number of pore volumes are needed. Also, the effects of the characteristics of simulated soils on the removal efficiency of organic compounds are studied. After the characterization of soil surface, porosity of soil columns and types of contaminants, the results could provide a basis for the design of SVE process.

This study was performed to investigate the distributions of volatile organic compounds and carbonyl compounds at the 120 households in new apartments before occupation. The concentration of toluene, m, p-xylene, formaldehyde, acetone and ethylbenzene dominated as $272.81{\mu}g/m^3$, $98.90{\mu}g/m^3$, $71.68{\mu}g/m^3$, $70.58{\mu}g/m^3$ and $49.76{\mu}g/m^3$, respectively. The identified compounds by standards occupied 42.5% of the TVOCs, also the concentration of toluene occupied the largest part of the identified compounds as 18.5%. The concentration of formaldehyde and acetone were 43.1% and 42.4% among carbonyl compounds. The indoor/outdoor ratio of the concentration of benzene, toluene, formaldehyde and o-xylene were investigated 1.29, 3.59, 10.76 and 28.74, respectively.

대기질의 악화와 오염원이 많아짐에 따라, 실내공기 정화장치 또한 재래식의 방법을 벗어난 방 식으로 설계 시설되어야 한다. 인위적으로 만들어진 유해 물질과 작은 먼지들을 제거하기 위한 새로운 환풍장치는 지역의 특수성을 고려하여 설계되어야 한다. 더욱이 대도시의 생활은 오염 원과 작업장 및 거주지가 가까이 위치하기 때문에 특별히 지역의 특수성을 고려하여 환풍장치가 설계되어야 한다. 끝으로 작업장안에서 오염원 격리수용하는 것은 매우 바람직하여, 청정공 간(clean room)을 요구하는 반도체 및 제약회사 등은 건축물자체 오염원에서 멀리 떨어져서 지 역의 영향을 최소화하는 것과 건축물의 자재 및 공기정화장치가 새롭게 연구되어 설계되야 한다.

실내공기오염을 일으키는 오염물질은 SO$_2$, NOx, 흡연, 먼지 등 여러 종류가 있고, 이것들에 대한 연구는 계속 연구가 진행되고 있으나, 호흡기성 감염을 일으키는 레지오넬라균(Legionella spp), 세균(Bacteria), 진균(Fungus) 등에 대해 실내공기오염 측면에서 다른 연구는 찾아보기 어려운 실정이다. (중략)

This paper has investigated influences of pollutants in air-breathing on the respirators and it by year of disused air respirators that fire fighter is using in domestic cutting done air respirators after collection observed state of cylinder material through instrumental analysis, and cut open pipe to confirm pollution degree of pipe from cylinder of air respirators to airline mask and confirm pollution availability. The metal surface inside the air respirators was corroded by moisture included in the compressed air. The material generated by corrosion is white powder of less then 100㎛, which is analyzed as aluminum hydroxide corroded by moisture. This aluminum hydroxide powder may get into the lung while one breathes in, and it is easy to be attached to the lung so it will cause a serious influences to human health. This study suggests that Korea should set out the standards for components and composition of breathing air as soon as possible.
