Since the seventies and the oil crisis, energy-saving measures have led to a reduction in the ventilation of room. The use of synthetic materials which emit various chemical substances had led to an increase in the concentration of indoor pollutants. "Sick building syndrome (SBS)" and "Sick house syndrome (SHS)" are worldwide problems. Also, the number of complaints about indoor air pollution caused by VOCs (Volatile organic compound) and HCHO (Formaldehyde) has increased. It is important that evaluating and understanding emission of indoor air pollutant from building materials. The object of this study was to evaluate emission test method for flooring such as wood based flooring, carpet tile, rubber tile, PVC sheet and tile, and to determine emission of TVOC and form-aldehyde. The quantity of TVOC and carbonyl compounds emission were sampled and measured by Tenax TA and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MSD), 2,4-DNPH cartrige with ozone scrubber and high performance liquid from flooring. The TVOC concentration emitted from carpet tile was ($7.419\;mg/m^2 h$) the highest among 5 groups of test materials. In wood based flooring and PVC tile, the emitted concentration of toluene was high. And the dodecane emission was highest in carpet. The concentration of TVOC decreased by an increase in emission test period. After 7 days, the concentration of TVOC from floorings were about 50% below of the concentration at the first day. TVOC emission from wood based flooring, carpet tile, rubber tile, PVC sheet and tile were decreased in 28 days and remained steady after about 15 days. The concentration of formaldehyde emission from floorings showed extremely low.

최근 들어 실내공기질 악화의 주 오염원인 건축자재에 대한 관심이 고조되면서 건축자재 오염물질 방출시험 자료 구축이 중요하게 됨에 따라, 신뢰성 있는 자료 확보를 위해 건축자재 방출시험 정도 관리에 대한 필요성이 대두되었다. 이에 본 연구는 건축자재 방출시험 성능에 대한 정도관리를 위해 총 휘발성 유기화합물과 포름알데히드에 대하여 기기분석 재현성, 회수율, 검출한계, 중복 및 반복채취 재현성, 파과용량 평가 등을 실시하였다. 기기분석 및 시료채취에 대한 재현성은 20~30% 이내의 양호한 결과를 보였으며, 회수율은 80% 이상으로 나타났으며, 파과 역시 일어나지 않아 소형챔버법에 의한 성능은 전반적으로 만족할 만한 수준을 보였다. 따라서, 소형챔버를 이용한 건축자재 오염물질 방출시험방법은 신뢰성있는 자료를 제공해 줄 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

기존 단열재의 주된 기능은 단지 열전달을 차단하는 기능과 건물로부터 열손실을 줄여주는 기능만을 수행했다. 반면, 축열재는 특정온도 범위 내에서 열에너지를 저장 또는 방출함으로써 건물에너지 사용량을 절감할 수 있다. 축열 건자재는 실내 공기온도 변화주기를 효과적으로 조절하여 일정하게 온도를 유지시킬 수 있다. 결과적으로 냉난방시스템 기능을 효율적으로 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 연구는 건축자재로 많이 이용되고 있는 석고보드에 상변화잠열물질을 축열재로 첨가하여 그 물성과 열환경 특성을 파악하였다. 또한 축열 건자재를 활용할 때 발생가능한 문제점을 확인하였다. 마지막으로 TVOC와 HCHO 함량 분석으로부터 오염물질의 배출가능성을 조사하여 축열 건자재의 환경 친화도를 검토하였다.

Background: Appropriateness issues have emerged regarding the non-application of hazardous substance safety standards for items classified as 'other textile products'. Objectives: Testing for formaldehyde (HCHO) and risk assessment were conducted on 'other textiles products' to provide reference data for promoting product safety policies. Methods: Testing was conducted on five items (102 products) classified as 'other textile products' according to relevant standards (textile products safety standards), and the risk of each product was assessed using the evaluation methodologies of the European Centre for Ecotoxicology and Toxicology of Chemicals (ECETOC) and European Chemical Agency (ECHA). Results: Out of the 102 products tested, HCHO was detected above the quantification limit in five. Based on these results, the screening risk assessment indicated that three products exceeded the criteria. Upon reassessing the emission and transfer rates of products exceeding the criteria, it was confirmed that there were no instances of exceeding the criteria. Conclusions: Risk assessment results can be used as supporting data for non-application of hazardous substance standards. However, it is deemed necessary to transition towards a management approach based on risks in order to addressing emerging trends such as convergence/new products.

This study was carried out to examine properties of water resistant plywood by using serum protein adhesive which is natural, environment-friendly and human-friendly. For the preparation of the serum protein adhesive, pig blood from slaughterhouse was centrifuged and serum was separated from corpuscles and concentrated to 30% by dry weight basis. This concentrated serum protein was modified with PF resin (50% NVC) with the ratio of 9 : 2.5. Plywood made by this modified serum protein gave 1.21 N/$mm^2$ of dry bonding strength, 0.80 N/$mm^2$ of wet boil bonding strength, 0% of cyclic delamination test value, and 0.025 ppm of HCHO emission, which met the excellent super $E_0$ grade and water resistant plywood.

국내의 경우, 2004년 5월부터 시행예정인 다중이용시설 등의 실내공기질관리법에 따라서, 학교 등의 일부 건축물을 제외하고 신축공동주택 및 대부분의 거주용 공간에 대한 실내공기질관리법이 제정되었다. 이러한, 건축물 내에는 다양한 오염원(sources)과 휘발성유기화합물(VOCs), 포름알데히드(HCHO), 라돈(Radon), 석면(Asbestos), 일산화탄소(CO), 이산화탄소($CO_2$), 이산화질소(NO$_2$), 오존(O$_3$), 미세 먼지(PM10), 부유세균 등 유해오염물질(contaminants)이 존재하고 있다. 또한, 실내공기오염은 각 오염원에서의 유해오염물질 방산정도(emission rate)가 실내외 환경조건, 적용 건축자재의 종류 및 공법 , 환기설비의 특성 및 유형 등에 따라 큰 차이를 보이고 있으므로, 이에 대한 정확한 측정방법의 정립과 그에 따른 적절한 실태조사의 실시가 필요하다.

Hazardous chemicals emitted from building materials and furniture have led to social problems such as sick house syndrome. Test methods for the evaluation of pollutant emissions from furniture-like products have been applied using various national and international standards and classifications, but they are not currently unified. This research has been done to organize the various standards and certification methods and to make new classification systems. Proper test methods have been proposed, tested, and analyzed through this research.

There has been growing concern regarding IAQ(Indoor Air Quality) recently, and IAQ problems from the air-tightness and use of chemical materials addition to the building materials have become increasingly important factors in the built environment. Ventilation is supposed as the solution of healthy indoor quality, and Korea government requests that all new apartment buildings must have a ventilation system as a matter of duty since January, 2006. The purpose of this study is to investigate the indoor concentration change of VOCs include the Formaldehyde according to many different ventilation supply types. Results showed that the reduction effect of target pollutants by the ventilation system was very slight. The cause of these results was attribute to increase the emission rate of building materials by increasing the ventilation rate.

Lime paint surpassing others in execution efficiency, anti-bacterial, anti-mold and small quantity emission of VOCs(Volatile Organic Compounds) characteristics was developed using a limestone as raw materials. The lime paint prepared by mixing slaked lime($37{\sim}40\;wt%$), PVA:EVA(9 wt%:1 wt%), talc(23 wt%), $TiO_2$(14 wt%), zeolite (3 wt%), antifoaming agent(5 wt%), wetting agent (5 wt%) was indicated over 99.8% of anti-bacterial and anti-mold characteristics. Also, the environment-friendly function of the lime paint was confirmed by detection of small amount of TVOCs($0.01\;mg/m^2h$) and formaldehyde($0.008\;mg/m^2h$). Execution efficiency, economy-and environment-friendly characteristics of this lime paint can make up for defects of established paints. And, it also presents the advantage of a limestone as high value added materials.

The environment-friendly building material, photocatalyst/scoria/loess concrete, was prepared using scoria and loess (which have merits as building materials) and photocatalyst (which has the functions to compose the environmental contaminants and of self cleaning). In order to apply this material as a building material, the compressive and flexible strengths, and water absorptivity (which have been set by Korea Industrial Standard) were measured. In order to know the environment-friendly characteristics of this material, several tests, such as, the tests of emissivity and emission power of far infrared ray and acoustic absorptivity, antibacterial test for Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, antifungal test for mixed fungal strains, and deodorization test of ammonia were carried out. Moreover, the removal characteristics of NOx, and formaldehyde (HCHO) by photocatalyst/scoria/loess concrete were examined as the following different parameters: the removal characteristics of these contaminants with the substitution ratio and the kind of photocatalyst, light source, UV intensity of sunlight, relative humidity, intial NOx concentration.
