A Katsuobushi smoking machine was developed and evaluated to determine its benzo(a)pyrene reducing effect. The machine was equipped with two heaters for smoking and chamber heating. The smoke-generating system was equipped with a cadmium sulfide (CdS) smoke sensor, an on/off controller, and a rotating feeder with a smoke inlet. Raw bonito was steamed and then smoked under three smoke levels. After smoking at $45^{\circ}C$ for 108 h, the benzo(a)pyrene concentrations were 5.87, 7.83, and $11.41{\mu}g/kg$ at the low, middle, and high smoke levels, respectively. The benzo(a)pyrene concentrations after low-level smoking at 45, 65, and $85^{\circ}C$ for 108 h were 5.87, 4.82, and $3.27{\mu}g/kg$, respectively. Accordingly, the optimal conditions for benzo(a)pyrene reduction were a lower smoke level and higher smoking temperature. These optimal smoking conditions can be implemented with the newly developed machine, but is not possible using a conventional Katsuobushi smoking machine.

Since the air stream in the room controlled by HVAC system affects on he expected response of conventional detectors which are designed in accordance with normal characteristics of air stream in the fire incident, unexpected operation time delay may occur in fire. In order to solve this problem and to improve sensitivity so that to initiate fire in its early stages for minimizing damage and protecting people, we studied and developed Air Sampling Smoke Detector. The Air Sampling Smoke Detector is a kind of active-type fire detection system. it draws air continuously from the protected area through an air sampling pipe network to the smoke density analyzer. This study presents smoke density analysing technique and air intake balancing technique through an air sampling pipe network. As a result of evaluating, Air Sampling Smoke Detector was much more sensitive than conventional smoke detectors that passively wait for smoke to reach them and was not affected by ambient airflow in the room by means of balanced air intake through the sampling holes.

The experiment applied Positive Pressure Ventilation to rapidly exhaust heat and smoke inside the construction in the fire was done. Changes of heat discharge and smoke density were measured, with the various blowing condition like a fan tilting angle to find the effect of the parameter. Experimental apparatus were with PPV and water mist system for better efficiency, and investigate the effect of heat discharge and smoke removal. In the experiment, flame temperature has decreased when PPV was applied. Smoke density, generated from fire also decreased dramatically and the efficiency showed the highest rate at $0^{\circ}$ tilting angle. In addition, combination of PPV and water mist system highly improved the efficiency of evacuation on heat and smoke density, clearly was influenced by the tilting angle.

The performance based design in fire detection system, the effect of high airflow and dilution of smoke produced in any fire situation serve to increase the response time of point-type smoke detectors. This study investigated the smoke density of ceiling, under the air stream and in normal status when fire type is smoldering fires. The result of study, smoke generated in the fire was swept away from nearby spot type smoke detector which failed to actuate because dispersed in diluted form around the room. The concept of performance based design in fire detection system of protected area influenced by high airflow provided the need of active fire detection system such as air sampling smoke detection system.

The diffusion characteristics of the smoke by effect of an ascending air movement in a local part of the room where heat generated was studied. How the smoke move in the limited parts of the room at which heat generated was studied through 3 cases altering locations of inlet and outlet of ventilated air and heat generated by CFD(Computational Fluids Dynamics) method. It was found that 1. Similar distribution of air velocity, air temperature and smoke concentration appeared in the case of upper left inlet and lower right outlet and the case of lower inlet and upper right outlet. 2. Distribution of temperature and smoke concentration was 0∼0.3, 0.06∼0.14 in the case of lower left inlet and upper right outlet. 3. the location of heat generation did not influence on the temperature distribution, but influence on the distribution of smoke concentration.

This paper presents a study on the analysis of fire detection system using fuzzy logic with input variables of temperature and smoke density. The input variables for the fuzzy logic algorithm are measured by fire experiment of small scale with temperature detector and smoke detector. The antecedent part of fuzzy rules consists of temperature and smoke density, and the consequent part consists of fire possibility. Also the triangular fuzzy membership function is chosen for input variables and fuzzy rules to simplify computation. In order to calculate fuzzy values of such fuzzy system, a computer program is developed with Matlab based on graphics user interface. The experiment was conducted with paper and ethanol to simulate flaming fire and with plastic and sawdust to model smoldering fire. The results showed that the fire detection system presented here was able to diagnose fire very precisely. With the help of algorithms using fuzzy logic we could distinguish whether fire or not.

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.

In this study, we conducted an FDS simulation for the purpose of carrying out a basic assessment of the usefulness of the water spray for fire extinguishing. We analyzed the effect of securing the stability in temperature and smoke density in case of fire according to fire intensities and changes in wind speed. When there was no wind speed in tunnels, it was effective in securing the safety of people because the cooling effect of the water spray system had an excellent effect on reducing temperatures and smoke densities there.

Tobacco smoke emitted during smoking is divided into a main-stream and side-stream smoke. Most of the tobacco smoke that spreads to a room while smoking is a side-stream one. The side-stream tobacco smoke is two to three times more harmful than that of the main-stream tobacco smoke. In this study, the removal efficiency of CO, $H_2S$, $NH_3$ and HCHO in a side-stream tobacco smoke using the doping component of $TiO_2$ photocatalysts was confirmed. As a result, CO was removed up to 78.37%, which indicated that the $TiO_2$ photocatalytic process is effective for CO removal. Also, the removal efficiencies of CO, $H_2S$ and HCHO were greatly affected by the amount of doped O and Si components of the $TiO_2$ photocatalyst. In conclusion, the more doped O and Si components had, the higher removal efficiencies of harmful substances were achieved.
