최근 경제적 수준의 향상과 더불어 도시인의 생활 양식에도 큰 변화가 초래되어 1일 실내 생활 활동시간이 증대되고 있다. 따라서 실내 생활의 비중이 많은 현대인에게는 실외 대기 오염 물질에 대한 노출 기회보다 실내 공기 오염물질에 대한 노출 기회가 많아 실내 오염의 중요도가 높다(Bloemen and B)urn, 1993). VOCs의 실내 발생원은 주로 건축자재 혹은 가구 및 담배연기 둥이며, 페인트나 유기용제 둥을 사용하는 생활용품에서도 다량 배출되어 인체에 직접적인 노출의 원인이 되고 있다.(중략)

알데히드류는 실내의 다양한 오염원에서 발생되어 하루의 대부분을 실내에서 보내고 있는 현대인들에게 건강상 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 관심의 대상이 되어왔으며, 특히, 포름알데히드는 발암성 물질로 알려진 대표적인 실내 환경 오염 물질이기도 하다(Zhang junfeng et al., 1999). 포름알데히드는 urea 또는 phenol-formaldehyde 수지를 합성하는 주요 물질이며, 건축물 단열재, 가구의 염료 및 광택제, 접착제, 합판, particle board, 악취 제거제, 제지, 가스 스토브, 담배연기, 화장용품, 세제등 생활 용품에서 공업용품에 이르기까지 광범위하게 사용되며, 그 사용량도 증가되고 있다(Thomas J. Kelly et al., 1999). (중략)

For evaluating the cigarette smoke quality of nonblended and commercial cigarettes, four modified smoke quality indexes were deduced from considering the reactivity of the thiol group in cystine (SH value) with the cigarette smoke constituents, and from the maximum limited contents of tar. nicotine, and carbon monoxide for the less harmful cigarettes. These results were discussed with respect to correlation coefficients between the indexes and tar/nicotine ratio which had been known reliable for smoke quality evaluation. Among the three indexes, the SH/[(N/O.6) +($\frac{C+T}{8}$)] index was found to be the most reliable and applicable.

여기서는 사업장 금연프로그램의 성공을 평가할 수 있는 적절한 방안들에 대해 살펴 보기로 한다. 보다 구체적으로는 금연성공을 평가하기 위한 추적기간을 어느 정도로 정할 것인가? 금연성공을 과연 어떻게 정의할 것인가? 금연성공여부를 증빙할 수 있는 생의학적 검사 수단은 어떤 것들이 있는가? 흡연자들의 금연상태 지속여부와 중도탈락률을 반영할 수 있는 평가지표들은 어떤 것이 있는가? 다양한 금연성공 평가지표들의 장단점과 효용성을 평가하고, 다양한 금연사업의 상황에서 어떤 평가지표가 선호될 수 있는지에 대해서도 주로 다루고자 한다.

The current study evaluated the air quality of the smoking booth equipped with the air purification system consisting of photocatalysts and air filters by measuring the concentrations of hazardous substances of tobacco smoke such as CO, HCHO, $CH_3CHO$, PM10 and PM2.5. To enhance the removal efficiency of hazardous substances, an infrared ray was exposed to improve the reactivity of OH radical generated from the photocatalyst toward environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) gas phase hazardous materials. It was found that the smoking booth with the air purification system improved the removal efficiency of hazardous substances containing formaldehyde by 85.2% compared to that of the smoking booth without any purification systems. In addition, the removal efficiency of the fine dust after treatment was enhanced up to 89.4%.

In this study, radioactivity quantitative analysis was performed on radon contained in cigarette, and the effective dose was calculated using the result value to determine the amount of exposure caused by smoking. A total of 5 types of cigarettes were sampled. Cigarette smoke was collected by using activated carbon, and tobacco were measured by homogenizing for quantitative analysis. For each sample, Bi-214 and Pb-214 were subjected to gamma nuclide analysis to observe the uranium-based radioactive material contained in cigarette, and a measurement time of 30,000 seconds was set for the sample based on the results of previous studies. As a result of measuring the radioactivity of tobacco, a maximum of 0.715 Bq/kg was derived, and in the case of cigarette smoke measured using activated carbon, a maximum of 3.652 Bq/kg was derived. Using this measurement, the average effective dose to the lungs is 0.938 mSv/y, and it was found that there is a possibility of receiving exposure up to 1.099 mSv/y depending on the type of tobacco. It was found that the exposure dose due to cigarette occupies a large proportion of the annual effective dose limit for the general public. Therefore, more diverse studies on radioactive substances in cigarette are needed, and measures to monitor and reduce the incidental exposure to radon should be established.

Background : Smoking is the most important and consistent determinant of the development and progression of COPD(Ed Note : Define COPD). The fact that cigarette smokers develop a different type of COPD, chronic bronchitis and emphysema, with different clinical and pathological aspects, suggests that the development of COPD has a relationship with other smoking-associated factors beyond just a simple smoking history. The aim of this was to analyze the smoking habits and history of patients with COPD and to evaluate the development of different types of COPD according to patient's smoking habits. Method : To evaluate the differences in the smoking patterns of patients with chronic bronchitis and emphysema, a pulmonary function test was conducted, and the smoking history and patterns was obtained through a smoking history questionnaire by a direct personal interview from 333 male cigarette smokers diagnosed with COPD, in the Yeungnam university medical center(190 patients diagnosed with chronic bronchitis, 143 patients diagnosed with emphysema). Result : The patients with emphysema smoked earlier and had a higher smoking history(ie, more packyears, more total amounts of smoked cigarette, and more deep inhalation and longer duration of plain cigarette exposure) than those with chronic bronchitis. The depth of inhalation was also significantly higher in the emphysema patients after taking into account age, cumulative cigarette consumption and the type of cigarette smoked. Conclusion : Emphysema was more associated with the increasing degree of inhalation as assessed by the depth of inhalation. A high alveolar smoke exposure may be a significant risk factor for the development of emphysema.

The solvent extracting of the tobacco has been carried out in order to find out any effects for the removal and/or reduction of nicotine from tobacco without affecting the tobacco flavor. We have now completed the physico-chemical characterization of the solvent untreated/treated tobaccos and 2) the contents of the tar and nicotine in the smoke. The results obtained ate like followings; 1. 3% alcohol extraction reduced the total nitrogen content for the Bright by 36.4%. However, it could not reduce the sugar content. 2. Nicotine content in tobacco leaves was inversely proportional to the dipping time Essentially same results were obtained in anacidic solution and even in a solution containing both alkali and acid. 3. Derivative thermogravimetric(DTG) curves indicated test extraction was effective by removing tobacco leaf components which could decompose or volatilize between the temperature of $150^{\circ}C\;and\;350^{\circ}C$. 4. 3% alcohol extracted leaf have the substantial improvements as following; (1) bulk filling power of 10% and 24% for Burley and Bright tobacco, respectively, (2) combustibility shortening of about 3 minute and 2 minute for Burley and Bright tobaccos, respectively, (3) reduction ratio(%) of nicotine was found to be shout 61.5% and 54.5% for Burley and Bright tobacco, respectively, (4) reduction ratio (%) of tar was obtained to he about 25% and 15% for Burley and Bright tobacco, respectively.
