본 연구의 목적은 조리과정에서 발생한 총휘발성 유기화합물질, 미세먼지, 악취, 총부유세균 등의 오염물질들이 조리실내로 분산되어 실내공간이나 조리업 종사자에게는 나쁜 냄새나 작업환경 및 건강피해를 감소하고자 하는 것이다. 이를 위해 기존 공기청정기의 단점을 보완하고, 반영구적이며, 각종 오염물질을 효율적으로 제거하기 위하여 활성탄과 황토를 결합한 바이오세라믹 필터를 bar type으로 제작한 실내용 소형 공기청정기 개발에 중점을 두었다. 측정항목은 총휘발성 유기화합물, 미세먼지, 복합악취, 총부유세균 등 모두 4가지 항목으로 개발된 공기청정기 가동 전과 일정시간 가동 후를 비교하여 측정하였다. 측정결과, 총휘발성 유기화합물의 농도는 평균 $2,500{\mu}g/m^3$에서 $223{\mu}g/m^3$으로 약 91.02%의 높은 제거효율을 보였으며, 미세먼지의 제거율은 평균 농도가 $26.68{\mu}g/m^3$로서 97.51%의 우수한 제거효과가 나타났으며, 복합악취의 희석배수를 측정한 결과 평균 144로 평균 95.20% 감소하였다. 또 총부유세균은 초기 농도가 $787{\sim}814CFU/m^3$에서 $47{\sim}40CFU/m^3$로 약 94% 이상 제거되는 것을 확인하였다. 결론적으로 개발되어진 공기청정기의 바이오세라믹 필터는 오염물질을 제거하는데 우수한 제거효과를 나타냈다. 따라서 공기청정기를 조리실내에서 환기장치와 렌지후드를 병행하여 사용하면 기존의 열악한 조리실 내의 환경이 크게 개선되어질 것으로 사료된다.

This study compared indoor air quality of homes in which elementary school children with and without (case and control) allergic rhinitis live in the Ulsan metropolitan region (UMR). A total of 58 homes (case and control: 29, respectively; children aged 7 to 12 years) was selected for indoor air quality measurements. The concentrations of all general indoor air pollutants, except $PM_{2.5}$, in the case group were much higher than those in the control group. In particular, the average concentrations of $O_3$ and $NO_2$ in the case group were statistically significantly (p<0.05) higher than those in the control group. Average concentrations of $CO_2$ in the case and control groups and $NO_2$ in the case group exceeded the standard level. Some components of aldehydes and ketones and VOCs indicated large difference of average concentrations between two groups, but there were no statistically significant differences.

본 연구는 다변화 되는 건설환경에서 모듈러 주택에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있어 모듈러 목업 주택을 대상으로 신축시 실내공기질 현황을 측정하였다. 붙박이 가구가 미설치된 세대(101호)와 붙박이 가구가 설치된 세대(102호), 2세대를 대상으로 시간경과에 따라 3차 측정을 실시하였다. 1차는 마감 및 붙박이 가구 설치 직후 측정하였으며 2차는 베이크아웃 실시 이후, 3차는 약 2.5개월(77일) 이후 측정하였다. 측정결과 1차 측정시 붙박이 가구 설치세대가 오염물질 방출농도가 높았으나 톨루엔의 경우를 제외하고 모두 권고기준 이하로 나타났다. 3차 측정시에는 톨루엔과 스티렌을 제외하고 두세대가 유사한 방출량으로 나타났으며 두세대 모두 미미한 수준으로 방출량이 낮아졌다. 이는 측정세대 모듈이 적어($14.7m^2$) 베이크아웃 및 환기에 의한 영향이 크게 나타난 것으로 판단되며 이를 통해 오염물질이 외부로 방출되어 저감된 것으로 판단된다. 일반 공동주택의 입주시점을 고려한다면 모듈러 주택의 경우도 모두 실내공기질 권고기준 이하로 나타날 것으로 판단되며, 가구에 의한 영향은 톨루엔이 가장 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 향후에는 모듈조합을 통해 중형 이상 규모 모듈러 주택에 있어서 가구설치 여부에 따른 상관관계를 살펴 볼 필요성이 있을 것으로 판단된다.

The guidelines for indoor air quality of public transportations such as subway, train and bus was presented by Korean Ministry of Environment last end of year 2006 based on the great consequence of indoor air quality in daily life. Two main parameters, carbon dioxide($CO_2$) and particulate matters smaller than $10\;{\mu}m(PM_{10})$, were selected as index pollutants for the management of indoor air quality. The former pollutant, $CO_2$, is regarded as index of ventilation status and the major source of $CO_2$ in the train or subway is the exhalation of passengers. It is publically perceived that the high $CO_2$ concentration in a crowded subway will be reduced and ventilated with outdoor air by door-opening taken every 2 or 3 minutes when the train stops each station. However, there has not been any scientific proof and quantitative information on the effect of door-opening on the $CO_2$ reduction by ventilation with outdoor air. In this study, $CO_2$ concentration and number of passengers were measured at each station on the 3 lines of Korail metropolitan subway. In order to evaluate the effect of $CO_2$ reduction by door opening, the theoretical approach using the $CO_2$ balance equation was performed. By comparing the predicted data with monitoring one, the optimum $CO_2$ dilution factor was determined. For the first time, it was quantified that about 35% of $CO_2$ concentration in the subway indoor was removed by the door-opening at each station.

Recently, volatile organic compound(VOC) has been noted as a main cause of air pollution. VOC, with its toxic and offensive odor, is hazardous to health. Furthermore indoor, underground and hish-rise buildings are preferable living spaces. People spend more than 80% of the day indoor, so indoor air pollution is a matter of importance. In Korea, from 2004, 10 types of indoor pollutants in public facilities have been identified. However, there is no standard for individual VOC, so the regulation has not yet effectively been carried out. In this study, we have studied on the diffusion of Benzene in a room using a numerical analysis for various air-controlled conditions consisted of door, window and ventilation system. This study investigates spatial concentration distribution and time-history of room-averaged benzene concentration for several cases. The results of this study show that when the room is ventilated by a small fan only for 30 minutes, the average concentration of benzene is decreased a very little, thus the impact to human body would be serious compared to the case of natural ventilation by window and door, In the case of natural ventilation by window and door, if the wind speed is higher than 0.5m/s, it takes small than 4 minutes for benzene to spread to the target concentration of $1.2mg/m^3$.

This paper evaluates the performance of ventilation for the removal of indoor pollutants as a function of ventilation rate and the number of occupants in a test room and school classroom. An experimental apparatus consists of a test room, a tracer gas supply system, a gas detector, and a fan for ventilation air supply with a controller. The ventilation performance is evaluated in a step-down method based on ASTM Standard E741-83 using $CO_{2}$ gas as a tracer gas in the test room of 35 $m^{3}.$ For the ventilation air flow rate of 1.0 ACH, a recommended ventilation flow rate of Korea school standard for acceptable indoor air quality in the case of one person, CO_{2}$ gas concentration decreases up to $55{\%}$ within 50 minutes without occupancy and increases up to $75{\%}$ in the case of one occupant. Also indoor air quality at the school classroom is investigated experimentally.

The purpose of this work is to develop a high-efficiency air cleaning system for air pollutants such as particulate and gaseous state in indoor environments. In order to enhance a removal efficiency of gaseous state pollutants, we suggested that pulsed discharge plasma be combined with $TiO_2$ photocatalyst (photocatalytic plasma air cleaning unit). We investigated experimentally the basic characteristics of photocatalytic plasma air cleaning unit and measured air pollutants removal efficiency. The wavelength of light radiated from pulsed discharge plasma under the atmospheric condition was 310~380nm. Its energy is enough to excite the $TiO_2$ photocatalyst and it makes a photochemical reaction in the surface of $TiO_2$ photocatalyst. The removal quantity of trimethylamine$((CH_3)_3N)\; was\; 130mg/m^34 which is twice quantity of pulsed discharge plasma without $TiO_2$ phtocatalyst unit. From the result of gas analysis using FT-IR, nitric oxide was not detected and trimethylamine was decomposed to $H_2O\; and \;CO_2$. And trimethylamine removal efficiency was 95%. These experimental results indicate that photocatalytic plasma air cleaning unit is a potential method in removing the pollutants.

Paper records were generally degraded by some factors from atmospheric environments, like temperature, relative humidity or air pollutants. In this study, the degradation behavior of paper records by single or mixed gases of $NO_2$, $SO_2$, HCHO and TVOC was evaluated. The mechanical, optical and chemical properties of 4 kinds of paper (acid and neutral-based printing paper, traditional Hanji, and filter paper) were directly and indirectly affected by gaseous harmful materials. The brightness and $L^*$ value in all papers were slightly increased by accelerated aging under gaseous HCHO and TVOCs, but highly decreased by conditions under gases $NO_2$ and $SO_2$. The optical properties of paper records were most vulnerable in acid-based paper and high stable in filter paper and traditional Hanji by air pollutant degradation. The aging treatments under mixed gas pollutants including $NO_2$ resulted in decrease of physical, mechanical and optical properties of paper, so it was supposed that the concentration of $NO_2$ gas would be strictly controlled for optimum indoor air quality management in domestic storage centers for paper records.

In these proceedings, we will address the problem of air pollution on the premises of the Cement factory SHARRCEM L.L.C. in Hani Elezit in the Republic of Kosovo respectively around the clinker cooler, rotary kiln, and raw material mill. By air pollution, we mean the introduction of chemicals, particles, or other harmful materials into the atmosphere which in one way or another causing damage to the development of plants and organisms. Air pollution occurs when certain substances are released into the air, which depending on the quantitative level, can be harmful to human health, animals, and the environment in general. The analysis of air shows the influence of the extractive and processing industry on the chemical composition of air. Parameters analyzed though under control such as the case of carbon dioxide, due to the increasing production capacity of cement, the production of hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of CO₂ gas made CO₂ production a concern. With the purchase of the latest technology by the SHARCEM Factory in Hani Elezit, the amount of air pollution has been reduced and the allowed parameters of environmental pollution have been kept under control. Air pollutants are introduced into the atmosphere from various sources which change the composition of the atmosphere and affect the biotic environment.The concentration of air pollutants depends not only on the quantities that are emitted from the sources of air pollution but also on the ability of the atmosphere to absorb or disperse these emissions. Sources of air pollutants include vehicles, industry, indoor sources, and natural resources. There are some natural pollutants, such as natural fog, particles from volcanic eruptions, pollen grains, bacteria, and so on.
