In this study, the concentration of fine indoor dust and the size distribution of fine indoor dust were analyzed by measuring the dust generated during the cleaning process of an indoor office. We measured $PM_{10}$, $PM_{2.5}$, and $PM_{1.0}$ and analyzed the size distributions of dust larger than $0.3{\mu}m$ in diameter during cleaning. The results showed that the concentration of $PM_{10}$ increased rapidly during cleaning, however $PM_{1.0}$ did not increase. Before cleaning with a broom, the fine dust concentration was about $50{\mu}g/m^3$, but increased to about $400{\mu}g/m^3$ as cleaning progressed. In the case of indoor cleaning with a vacuum cleaner, the concentration of $PM_{10}$ increased during the cleaning process and the increase of $PM_{2.5}$ was relatively small. $PM_{1.0}$ did not increase as in the case of cleaning the broom.

인체의 미세먼지 노출에 의한 연구가 활발히 진행되면서 미세먼지와 건강 영향에 대한 인과 관계가 입증되고 있다. 미세먼지는 기침, 재채기, 심혈관 질환, 폐암 등 가벼운 증상부터 심각한 질병까지 인체의 건강에 다양하게 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 미세먼지는 2000 년 초부터 꾸준히 높은 농도를 보여왔지만, 사람들이 실제로 미세먼지를 위험 물질로 인식하기 시작한 것은 10 년이 채 되지 않았다. 이에 본 논문은 실외 미세먼지에 대한 정보 제공뿐만 아니라 사용자가 실제로 위치한 실내 미세먼지 농도까지 함께 제공하여 미세먼지에 관한 관심을 증가시키고자 한다.

There are many pollutants in the residential space due to building materials, ventilation, cooking, etc. Among them, particulate matter is a primary carcinogen and very harmfull to the human body, it occurs mostly in cooking. Therefore, in order to manage the indoor air quality well, it is necessary to evaluate the relationship between the concentration of particulate matter generated during cooking and ventilation method. In this study, we propose a management method and particulate matte which occurs during the kitchen cooking by measuring and analyzing the concenteation change of particulate matter(PM2.5) according to the type of food and the ventilation method.

현재 실외 대기 중 미세먼지농도는 한국환경공단으로부터 지역별 실시간 정보를 받아볼 수 있다. 하지만 일반가정이나 사무실, 개개인이 있는 실내의 지속적인 공기상태는 사용자가 직접 미세먼지를 측정하는 기기를 사용하여 측정해야 만이 확인이 가능하기 때문에 쉽게 알기가 어렵다. 언제 어디서든 손쉽게 공기오염도를 측정 할 수 있으며 오염도가 심한 수준일 경우 사용자가 즉시 알 수 있다면 이를 조금 더 손쉽게 예방하고 대처할 수 있을 것이다. 본 논문에서는 공기의 질을 측정 할 수 있는 휴대용 측정기와 개인이나 가정의 실내 공기의 질을 손쉽게 측정할 수 있는 실내측정기를 개발하여 사용자가 실시간으로 측정된 정보를 받을 수 있도록 하는 시스템의 개발내용에 대해 기술한다.

Air pollution is one of the most severe threats to society globally due to the rapid expansion of urbanization and industrialization. Particularly, particulate matter (PM) pollution was recently designated as a social disaster by the Korean government because of increases in public concerns and the accumulation of scientific evidence that links high levels of PM2.5 (PM smaller than 2.5 ㎛ in diameter) to a long list of adverse health effects. Atmospheric PM concentrations can also affect the indoor PM levels to which people are exposed most of the time. Thus, understanding the characteristics of indoor and ambient PM pollution based on measurements, model simulations, risk assessments, and management technologies is inevitable in establishing effective policies to mitigate social, economic, and health costs incurred by PM pollution. In this special issue, we introduce several interesting studies concerning indoor and outdoor PM from the perspective of monitoring, assessment, and management being conducted by i-SEED (School of Integrated Science for Sustainable Earth & Environmental Disaster at Pukyong National University) and SPMC (School Particulate Matter Center for Energy and Environmental Harmonization). We expect that this special issue can improve our understanding of the current and future of indoor and outdoor PM pollution, integrating the results from interdisciplinary research groups from various academic fields.

In an advanced modern society, among air pollutants caused by urban industrialization and public transportation, fine dust flows into indoors from the outdoors. The fine dust meter used indoors provides limited information and measures the pollution level differently, so there is a problem that users cannot monitor and monitor the data they want. To solve this problem, in this paper, indoor air quality data fine dust and ultra-fine dust (PM1.0, PM2.5, PM10), VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) and PIR (Passive Infrared Sensor) are used to measure fine dust. and a monitoring system were designed and implemented. We propose a fine dust meter and monitoring system that is installed in a designated area to measure fine dust in real time, collects, stores, and visualizes data through App Engine of Google Cloud Platform and provides it to users.

In this study, the indoor fine dust concentration in an office of the Korea Knowledge Industry Center was measured for about 80 hours when the concentration of atmospheric PM_2.5 was very high. The effect of the operation of the air cleaner and the forced ventilation system on the indoor PM_2.5 was investigated, and the particle size distribution of the indoor and outdoor particles was analyzed. When forced ventilator and air purifiers were partially used, the indoor PM_2.5 concentrations were maintained between 27.7 ㎍/㎥ and 32.9 ㎍/㎥ when the atmospheric PM_2.5 was 127.7 ㎍/㎥ to 141.6 ㎍/㎥ during working hours. It is more effective to operate the air purifier without operating the forced ventilation system when the concentration of the PM_2.5 is high since the PM_2.5 penetrating the installed filter is continuously introduced indoor from the outside.

Recently, the health issues triggered by fine dust matters occurred in higher frequency. Having adverse effects on health, particulate matters affect the human body indoors as well as outdoors. There is thus a need for a system to measure the concentration of particulate matters and control harmful particulate matters for human health in the indoor spaces where people live. The present study applied Internet of Things(IoT) technologies in order to increase the efficiency of the conventional fine dust measurement system. Especially, for the bidirectional communication environment, directly construct a separate server and applied to the system instead of a free cloud server also we used it directly in the school lab and home. When the proposed system is used in schools and homes, it can recognize the indoor environment quickly and it is expected that this will gradually contribute to the health of the individual. Users can also check the server data outside and deal with the current indoor situations.

This study examined the current and future Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) control device markets and analyzed the recent studies on indoor air pollutantr emoval to develop a new technology for fine dust control. Currently, the mechanical filter technique occupies the bulk of the IAQ control market but the electronic technique is emerging as an alternative to control fine dust efficiently. Among the gaseous VOCs and fine dust particles contaminating the indoor air quality, fine dust particles are more problematic because they threaten human health by penetrating deep into the body and producing secondary contaminants by chemical reaction with VOCs. The electronic IAQ control device using dielectrophoretic and electrostatic forces is a good option for public spaces where many people pass, and at the same time, it needs to consider temperature, humidity, and the particle properties of specific areas to highlight the control efficiency. Electronic-related technology is expected to be used widely in many public/private spaces wherever a dust-free environment is required.
