주거공간에서는 특히 연소시 발생되는 오염물질이 많이 존재하며 이러한 오염 물질들은 두통과 호흡기계를 자극하는 등 인체 건강에 유해한 영향을 줄 수 있다. 실내 이산화질소의 주요 오염원으로는 취사 및 보조난방기구 등의 연료 연소와 실외의 이산화질소가 환기 및 공기의 흐름에 의해 실내로 유입되는 경우를 들 수 있다. 이산화질소는 부식성이 있는 강한 산화 가스로써 대기중에 존재하면 숨이 막히고 자극적인 코를 찌르는 냄새를 유발하며 이러한 악취의 역치는 0.11∼0.22ppm에서 존재한다(WHO, 1987). (중략)

This study presents the result of uncertainty and sensitivity analysis of a pharmacokinetic model which describes the distribution and removal of benzene at each organ when an indivisual inhales indoor contaminated air with benzene originated from groundwater. The pharmacokinetic model simulates the distribution of benzene deposited in organs of human body through inhalation of contaminated indoor air as well as degradation-metabolism in liver. This study focused on the uncertainty problem induced from the use of the single values for blood flow, partition coefficient, degradation constant, volume, etc. of each organ which was due to a lack of knowledge about these parameters or their measurements. To solve this problem, uncertainty analysis on the pharmacokinetic model was conducted simultaneously which would help understanding the risk assessment associated with VOCs.

인간의 감성에 영향을 미치는 요인은 다양하나 이 중에서도 열환경은 인간에게 미치는 정도가 어떠한 요인보다도 큰 것으로 알려져 있다. 열환경이라 함은 온도, 습도, 기류, 복사열을 말하며 이 요소들과 인간의 감성과는 밀접한 관련을 지닌다. 열환경과 관련된 인간의 감성을 측정, 평가하기 위해서는 주위의 열환경이 정밀하게 제어되는 공간에서 작업이 이루어져야 한다. 실내 공간의 열환경을 임의로 제어하기 위해서는 급기되는 공기의 조건과 벽체의 온도가 정밀하게 제어되어야 한다. 공기와 벽체 조건은 가열, 냉각, 가습 또는 제습에 의하여 정밀하게 제어되며 이를 실현하기 위하여 공조 시스템은 일반적인 시스템과는 달리 특수한 조건이 요구된다. 공조 시스템의 각 구성요소가 컴퓨터에 의해 개별적으로 제어될 수 있어야 하며 특수 조건에 따른 유연성이 뛰어나야 한다. 본 연구에서는 열환결 제시에 적합한 공조 시스템을 개발한다.

The purpose of this study was reducing the moisture accumulation in a wall, which can threaten the structural safety of light-frame wall and make residential environment poor. For the purpose, the laboratory test was carried out with different wall assemblies. Vapor retarder and air gap for ventilation were added to the typical wall. The improved performance of the proposed walls was examined through the test with distinct difference of temperature and relative humidity between outdoor and indoor air conditions. Increased dampproofing performance of additional vapor retarder was effective on reduction of moisture transmission from inside the house into the wall. However, unexpected high relative humidity was shown in the wall with two additional vapor retarder because of excessive dampproofing performance or inadequate location of vapor retarder. And, the open air gap induced the moisture transfer from inside the wall into outdoor air by ventilation. If the alternative to the induction of moisture transmission from inside the house into the wall with open air gap can be found, moisture reduction effect of that will be increased obviously.

라돈(Rn-222)은 우라늄(U-238) 방사능계열의 원소로서 라듐(Ra-226)의 붕괴시 자연생성되는 가스상 물질이다. 화학적으로는 불활성이며 무색, 무취의 특성을 가지고 있다. 공기보다 8∼9배 무겁기 때문에 지표면 가깝게 존재하므로 인체노출이 쉬운 물질로 알려져 있다. 라돈은 최근까지도 온천 등지에서 건강에 매우 좋은 원소로 알려져 왔으나 사실은 기준치 이상의 라돈을 마시거나 호흡했을 경우, 치명적인 폐암을 유발시킨다는 것이 밝혀졌다(Doull et al, 1999) (중략)

초등학교에서의 실내공기 중 미생물 농도를 측정하여 본 결과 수업시간에 비하여 쉬는 시간에 아이들의 활동도에 따른 bacteria의 농도가 2.07배 증가하였고 유의성이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 에어컨을 가동 후 15분에서 미생물 농도가 최대가 되었으며, 이때의 농도가 2시간동안 가동하였을 때의 농도에 비해 12.29배 높게 나타났다. 이러한 에어컨 오염은 에어컨 내부 오염원에 의한 원인인 것으로 사료된다.

Elementary school students spend a lot of time in a school and are more exposed to indoor air pollution. Also the students are physically growing and have a relatively high respiratory rate per unit weight compared to adults, so it is known that there is a high sensitivity to indoor air pollution. Therefore, indoor air quality in a school is becoming an important factor for the student's health. In this study, a correlation analysis using levels of indoor and outdoor Particulate Matter (PM) measured from five elementary schools in Seoul was performed to evaluate the effect of outdoor PM on indoor PM. PM ratio and indoor/outdoor (I/O) ratio were also analyzed to investigate the actual condition of indoor air quality and effect of outdoor PM on indoor PM. As a result, the correlation between indoor and outdoor PM in elementary school was more significant in PM2.5 and PM1 than PM10. In the case of I/O ratio, the I/O ratio of PM10 was higher than that of 1 in four elementary schools except SD (BB:2.21, NS: 1.67, IS: 1.73, SI: 1.17). This indicates that the activity of students has a great effect on the concentration of indoor PM10.

Recently, the interest in the thermal comfort is ever increasing as the time people stay in the automobile is gradually increasing. So far, however, the cooling performance of the HVAC(heating and ventilation air conditioning) system is evaluated by thermal environment criteria such as indoor air velocity and temperature, not by a thermal comfort index. Furthermore, the precise criteria has not been established yet when the thermal comfort for the automobile is evaluated using numerical analysis. In this study, the numerical analysis of automobile indoor thermal comfort according to various parameters such as HVAC operating mode, airflow, passenger boarding conditions is performed during the HVAC system's initial operating time(20 minutes). The solar ray tracing model and S2S radiation model are used and validated to simulate an external heat source. Based on this study, an evaluation model which can predict the thermal comfort index for the combination of the above parameters is presented.
