최근 급속한 경제 성장과 함께 국내 산업기반 시설과 국민생활기반 시설과 같은 국내 건축물 고급화로 천연석재 마감재 수요 증가와 동시에 국내 채석장 수도 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라 채석장의 증가와 함께 채석장에서 발생하는 환경오염으로 주변 지역 피해가 주목받고 있다. 예를 들자면, 채석장으로부터 흘러나온 석면이나 분진이 응집되어 생기는 고체와 같은 발암물질로부터 지역 주민들은 위협받고 있다. 특히 석면에서 방출되는 라돈가스는 지구상 어디에나 존재하고 토양과 암석에서 방출되는 자연방사능 물질로 흡연에 이어 폐암 발병의 주요 원인이다. 실내 환기량이 부족한 상태에서 실내공기 오염원이 지속적으로 순환될 경우, 두통, 현기증 등의 인체반응이 나타나면서 거주자의 건강을 위협하기 때문에 유해물질 저감이 시급한 실정이다. 주택 실내공기질의 오염원 중 하나인 라돈가스의 경우 방출원에서 반감기를 거쳐 계속해서 방출되는 특성을 가지고 있으므로 완벽한 제거보다 방출원에 대한 제어가 필요하다. 라돈가스와 같은 유해물질 흡착 성능을 가진 버미큘라이트의 첨가율을 10%로 고정하고 현무암 폐석을 50, 60, 70, 80% 첨가하여 실험을 진행하였다. 실험의 결과로 'KS F 4035,기성 테라죠'에 의거하여 종합적으로 고려할 때 현무암 폐석의 첨가율 70%에서 최적의 인조석재를 제조할 수 있는 것으로 판명되었다.

Purpose: This study aimed at improving the indoor environment of the office building by measuring the indoor environment and conducting a survey. Method: The measurement was conducted from January 13 to March 16 in 2012, targeting 44 sites in same office building located in Seoul, South Korea. The lists of measurement such as dry-blub temperature, relative humidity, formaldehyde (HCHO), asbestos, carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particle pollution (PM10) were measured. In addition, illuminance which belongs to light environment and noise in sound[acoustical] environment were measured respectively. Result: The buildings showed overall pleasant conditions. In terms of the thermal, air, sound, and visual environment, each measurements were satisfied with the requirements in standard, within pleasant ranges, except several sites. However, the survey results were revealed that the office workers were mostly dissatisfied with their indoor environment. Given that the measured values were mostly within standards, the results of survey might have resulted from a compensation mentality biased toward the subjects in psychological terms.

This study was performed to deduct the extension possibility of the standards establishment for $NO_2$, $O_3$, Asbestos, Radon, total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) excluded in the indoor air part of Industrial Safety Acts in Korea. The air pollutants were sampled for 30 office buildings from August to September, 2005 in the metropolitan area. The airborne concentrations of $NO_2$, $O_3$, Radon and TVOC were 0.0092 ppm, 0.0035 ppm, 0.57 pCi/L and $423{\mu}g/m^3$, respectively. The management plan and reduction methods is required in the aspect of indoor air quality(IAQ) because the emission sources of those also exist in indoor as well as outdoor even though those were not exceeded the standards of the Ministry of Environment in Korea. The standard for TVOC in the new and remodeling office has to be established based on the risk assessment when hazard index exceeded "1" in the worst case scenario. In the state of art, the management of each volatile organic compounds has a difficulty due to not enough data for toxicological reference. Therefore, it is suggested that first of all, the standard for TVOC be established and then expanded to each materials for decision-making of improvement of IAQ in office.
