Firefighters performing disaster response activities such as Fire Suppression Rescue First Aid in fire are being exposed in various adverse factors, heat, smoke, toxic gases, emotional stress, biological toxic factors and physical overload by unnatural ergonomic posture required for firefighters. But so far, there is the study for this problem only separately. There is no study about comprehesive analysis of exposed adverse factors in fire-related disaster response activities and countermeasures. The purpose of this study is to contiribute to solving the health problems and prevention of accidents of firefighters by extracting hazardous agents in disaster such as fire and by proposing countermeasures. After analyzing circumstances such as fire-suppression, rescue first aid and life-environment, exposure factors of fire are derived and exposure status is suggested according to physical chemical biological psychological aspects. The countermeasure against the noise of the physical exposure factors are proposed. The countermeasures such as protective equipment and clean room in chemical factors, infection prevention education, vaccination and periodic check system in biological factors, PTSD alleviation booth and mentoring in psychological factors are proposed.

최근 생물학적 유해인자의 노출로 인한 건강상의 노출평가방법에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있으며 앞으로도 더욱 커질 것으로 보인다. 이에 곰팡이, 박테리아, 엔도톡신을 중심으로 건강장해와 노출평가방법에 대해서 원고를 게재한다.

This study is intended to provide basic data for health management of firefighters in the future by empirically looking into health hazard factors of firefighters in Busan City. It was revealed that firstly, the danger of harmful chemicals in a fire was perceived the most by firefighters, who extinguish a fire in person on the scene of a fire, and it was followed by the danger of falling while putting out a fire. This study is intended to provide basic data for health management of firefighters in the future by empirically looking into health hazard factors of firefighters in Busan City. It was revealed that firstly, the danger of harmful chemicals in a fire was perceived the most by firefighters, who extinguish a fire in person on the scene of a fire, and it was followed by the danger of falling while putting out a fire. Moreover, the danger of shift work was perceived the most by paramedics. This corresponds to the existing studies arguing that shift work is harmful to health. Next, the overload of patient transport was recognized as the second biggest hazard factor. This demonstrates they are worried about various second accidents that may happen due to a lot of patient transport works. In addition, the possibility of causing a traffic accident was perceived as a hazard factor too, since they must drive ambulance cars quickly to transport patients. Lastly, rescue workers regarded these hazard factors to be most dangerous. This is associated with their occupational characteristics, because rescue workers are the closest to diverse risks including a fire.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships between socio-economic position(SEP), environmental exposures, and health of older people in Korea. This study used the data from 'Environmental Exposures and Their Health Effect in Korean Elderly Population'. The sample includes a total of 563 elderly people who were 60 years of age or older. Data on SEP, environmental exposure, and health impact were collected and analyzed using descriptive statistics and multivariate regressions. As a result, study participants' SEP including age, family type, monthly expenditure, type of house, and region was significantly associated with environmental exposure. Also, while adjusting for SEP, environmental exposure such as allowing indoor smoking was associated with self-rated health and depression of study participants. The study findings showed inequality in environmental exposure and health outcomes by SEP in Korean elderly. Environmental exposure was associated with health outcome even after adjusting SEP, and this implied that environmental exposure could be a critical factor in explaining heath inequality by SEP. Further studies are necessary to better understand the causal relationships among SEP, environmental exposure, and health outcomes.

본 연구에서는 건축공사의 공정별 공정내용을 파악하고 그에 따라 발생하는 각종 유해요인을 분석하여 공정별 유해요인에 따른 작업환경측정대상과 특수건강진단의 정확한 진단항목 대상을 분석한다. 이를 통한 유해 공정에 따른 정확한 유해요인인자의 파악을 통해 작업환경측정 및 특수건강진단을 유해인자별 정기적으로(산업안전보건법 시행규칙 별표23 특수건강진단의 시기 및 주기를 참조)실시한다면 유해 인자에 따라 표적 추적 검사를 통해 보다 유의한 결과를 측정 가능하며 도출된 결과로 관리적, 공학적, 개인적 개선대책을 세워 관리한다면 직업성 질병을 예방하고, 쾌적한 작업환경을 조성하여 근로자의 안전과 보건을 유지증진 할 것으로 판단되었다. 또한 정기적인 특수건강진단으로 직업성 질병의 예방 및 조기발견으로 사후조치를 적절히 하여 근로자 건강 보호와 노동 생산성 향상을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
