근래들어 도시의 집중화와 고밀도화, 교통량의 증대 등 사회구조의 급격한 변화로 각종 소음원 들이 증가하고 있으며 소음에 대한 일반인의 관심도 점차 높아지고 있다. 건물의 경우 한정된 공간에서 거주자의 생활을 보다 쾌적하고 편리하게 하기 위해서 각종 설비들이 증가되고, 이들 설비들은 대용량화하는 추세에 있다. 건물내 공간의 기능을 능률적으로 유지하기 위해 설치된 각종 장비(공기조화기, 펌프, cooling tower, 보일러, 냉동기 \ulcorner 발전기 등)에서 발생하는 소음이 직접 실내로 투과되거나 이들이 발생하는 진동이 건물 구조체로 전달되어 실내소음을 야기시키는 경우가 많다. 따라서, 건물을 설계할 때는 실별 용도에 따라 허용소음도를 결정한후 이러한 실내 소음환경을 달성하기 위해 각종 조처를 강구하게 되는데, 이 글에서는 이러한 건물의 실내 소 음도 영향 평가의 하나로 특정 건물의 예를 들어 소음도 계산과 소음의 원인 및 대책에 관해 기술하고자 한다.

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.

Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) samples were collected separately in mainstream and side-stream smoke using a self-designed smoking machine, and a total 40 of PM2.5 was collected with low volume air sampler at indoor environments with and without ETS in Daejeon, Korea. About 20 trace elements including toxic metals like As, Cr, Mn, Se, V, and Zn were determined in PM2.5 and ETS samples by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). It is found that the emission factors of K, Cl, Na, and Al were much higher than those of toxic elements for both mainstream and side-stream smoke. The average concentration of PM2.5 was enriched by 1.5 times at smoking area ($58.7{\pm}18.1{\mu}g/m^3$) than at smoking free area ($38.6{\pm}12.7{\mu}g/m^3$). The concentration ratio of each element between smoking and smoking free area were ranged from 1.1 to 6.0 except Cu (1.0); especially, Ce (6.0), La (5.2), K (2.3), and Co (2.0) showed higher ratio, which suggests that the ETS is one of the possible increasing factors of PM2.5 and elemental concentration at indoor environment.

부유먼지가 인체에 미치는 유해성을 평가하기 위해서는 무엇보다도 공인되어 있고 신뢰성 있는 측정방법이 마련되어 있어야 한다. 대기중 부유먼지의 측정방법에는 여러 가지가 있으나 측정원리의 측면에서는 중량법과 광학적방법으로, 포집유량의 측면에서는 high-volume 과 low-volume으로 구분되어지며 임자의 크기별 포집장치의 부착유무에 따라 입도 분리형과 비분리형으로 구분되어지기도 한다. (중략)

The Korean construction industry has been implementing G-SEED, a certification system that evaluates the environmental properties of buildings for the purpose of reducing environmental burdens such as energy and resource consumption and pollutant emissions. Also, creating a pleasant environment in general is one more purpose of G-SEED certification system. However, G-SEED certification in practice is difficult and time consuming due to the complexity of the certification acquisition process coupled with little economic consideration for the materials of each certification item. Therefore, in this study, we present a model for the optimal selection of materials and economic assessment using a genetic algorithm. The development of the model involves building a material database based on life-cycle costing (LCC) targeted at "Application of Indoor Air Pollutant Low Emission Material" from G-SEED. Next, the model was validated using a real non-residential building case study. The result shows an average cost reduction rate of 74.5 % compared with the existing cost. This model is expected to be used as an economically efficient tool in G-SEED.

Ventilation plays an important role in controlling indoor air quality. Due to the recent spread of infectious diseases such as COVID-19 and with people spending more time indoors, there's been increased attention on the importance of ventilation performance. In many countries, ventilation is regulated by airflow rates and the number of air changes per hour (ACH). However, airflow rates and ACH alone do not provide an accurate account of actual indoor pollutant removal and ventilation uniformity in a space. This study looked into the ventilation performance of an actual residential unit using several sampling points instead of basing it off of airflow and air change rates. Literature review was used to derive relevant influencing factors and the tracer gas dilution method was used for the field test. The study measured air velocity, age of air, and ventilation efficiency at several locations and compared them to the average value at the center of the test space to determine the differences in ventilation performance at the selected measurement points. The study showed that different sampling locations resulted in different ventilation values. Findings of this study will be used to develop an experimental procedure for evaluating indoor ventilation performance of actual residential spaces.

Indoor air differs from outdoor atmosphere since it contains chemical and physical contaminants from building materials. This study deals with the biological effects of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from synthetic fiber carpet materials. One group of Tradescantia inflorescence was exposed to VOCs from the carpet sample in the environmental test chamber, while the other inflorescence group was exposed to a TO-14 standard gas mixture (1 ppm) for comparison. After the exposure, VOCs from the carpet were analysed by the desorber/GC/MS method, and micronuclei in the pollen mother cells of Tradescantia were scored under a microscope $({\times}400)$ to evaluate the genotocixicity induced by the exposure to VOCs. The chemical analysis confirmed that a total of 12 VOCs were released from the carpet materials, among which stylene $(71.9{\mu}g\;m^{-3})$ and toluene $(49.6{\mu}g\;m^{-3})$ were in the highest concentration. Twenty four hours of exposure to VOCs from the carpet in the environmental test chamber resulted in a micronucleus frequency as high as $7.73{\pm}0.75MCN$ per 100 tetrads, which was similar to that induced after exposure to the TO-14 standard gas mixture (1 ppm) for 4 hours. Meanwhile, two hours of exposure to the standard gas mixture did not cause a significant increase in the genotoxicity compared to the spontaneous micronucleus frequency. This result indicates that exposure for a long time to the air contaminated with VOCs from the carpet materials causes a genotoxic effect. The biological-chemical combination analyses in the study proved to be an effective tool for monitoring the indoor air contaminants.

최근 들어, 열악한 실내 공기 환경과 미세 먼지의 유입으로 아토피 피부염, 알레르기성 비염 및 천식 등의 감염성 질환이 증가하고 있다. 따라서, 공기 중 병원균(Airborne pathogens)을 친환경적으로 제거하는 기술이 요구되고 있는 추세이다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 시스템은 물을 이용하여 플라즈마를 발생시키는 시스템이다. 기존 플라즈마를 이용한 공기 정화 장치는 공기를 사용하여 플라즈마를 발생시키므로 오존과 같은 인체에 유해한 물질들이 발생되는 문제점이 있다. 하지만, 본 연구에서는 물을 사용하여 플라즈마를 발생시키므로 활성 라디칼들이 포함된 물을 미스트 형태로 분사하여 인체에 무해하며, 대기 중 병원균 살균이 가능한 장점이 있다. 물 플라즈마 젯 분사장치는 전원 공급 장치, 플라즈마 전극 그리고 플라즈마 노즐로 이루어져 있으며 주입되는 물을 기반으로 플라즈마를 발생시킨다. 장치의 특성을 분석하기 위하여, 오실로스코프로 전압 및 전류를 측정하였고 적정법을 이용하여 생성되는 활성 라디칼들의 농도를 측정하였다. 또한 살균 능력을 평가하기 위하여 병원균 중 대표적으로 대장균을 배양하여 살균 실험을 수행하였으며, 결과적으로 90% 이상의 대장균이 사멸하는 것을 확인하였다.
