  • Modern people stay at indoor places about 90% of a day. Radon-222 is a gas produced by the radioactive decay of the element radium. And, radon is one of the major indoor air pollutants. Radon moves into the underground space through various routes and is considered to cause lung cancer by hurting the lung tissues. In this study, we measured the subway radon level at 9 stations of 3 lines. According to test results, we can figure out the concentration of radon by lines, times, and measuring points. So, it was found that ventilation conditions are the most important factors in the subway air quality. Finally, we suggested effective and economic management methods of air pollution in the subway.

  • The importance of indoor air quality management has recently been highlighted due to environmental problems such as indoor air pollution. Among indoor air pollutants, carbon dioxide occurs in cooking, heating, burning, and causes forgetfulness, dementia and amnesia. Radon, which occurs in building materials, soil and ground, is a type 1 carcinogen that causes lung cancer in the body through breathing. These substances can be released from the room through ventilation, but there is a limit to reducing the amount of indoor activity due to reduced ventilation conditions due to increased indoor activity time. However, these substances can be removed from the gas by adsorption. The purpose of this study was to identify the properties of granular active and powdered active white soil and mix them to make cement-based active white soil adsorbent matrix for carbon dioxide, fine dust and radon gas adsorption, and to evaluate indoor air improvements according to the mixing scale. The results of the experiment showed that active carbon dioxide adsorption performance increased for carbon dioxide and radon as the exchange rate increased through physical adsorption. In particular, the higher the replacement rate of the granular active bag, the better adsorption performance was shown.

  • This study was conducted to contribute to the basic data for decisions on environment policy improvement in health promotion for students in elementary, middle and high schools. This study was carried out to investigate the extent of indoor air pollution in elementary, middle and high schools in residential, traffic congestional and industrial areas. The concentrations of major indoor air pollutants(carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, respiratory particulate, radon) and thermocircumstance (temperature, relative humidity, intensity of illumination) indices were observed from June to August 2000. As results of the survey, the mean values of thermocircumstance in school were $26.94{\pm}1.15^{\circ}C$ of temperature, $68.88{\pm}5.31%$ of humidity and $268.26{\pm}164.60$ Lux of intensity of illumination. The mean concentrations of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, respiratory particulate were $8.36{\pm}0.29\;ppm$, $547.66{\pm}175.58\;ppm$, $36.23{\pm}48.39\;{\mu}g/m3$, respectively. These values were lower than those of the indoor environmental standard on the first clause of Article 45 of public utilization service notified public hygiene of the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs. The mean concentration of radon was $20.07{\pm}17.95\;Bq/m3$. Which was below the U.S. EPA radon action level.

  • 라돈은 토양이나 암석, 지하수 안에서 우라늄(U-238)이 핵분열 할 때 발생하는 무색, 무취, 무미의 반응성이 거의 없는 비활성 단원자 분자 기체로 반감기 동안 연쇄적으로 붕괴하는데 이때 방사성 핵종(Bi, Po, Pb)이 만들어 지며 이를 자손핵종이라 한다. 이는 공기 중의 먼지 등에 흡착하여 사람이 호흡할시 폐에 흡착하여 붕괴하는데 여기서 발생하는 알파선에 장기간 피폭하면 폐암을 유발하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이에 따라 실내공기질에 관한 기준과 연구가 지속적으로 시행되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구는 실내 라돈가스를 최소화 하고 저감하기 위한 무시멘트계 흡착재를 연구개발 하기위한 기초실험으로 흡착재의 첨가량에 따라 유동성 및 강도는 저하되는 경향을 보였지만, 이는 흡착재의 밀도 및 공극에 의한 것으로 판단되며, 라돈가스 농도의 경우 첨가량 증가에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 향후 가장 적합한 흡착재를 활용하여 보다 세밀하고 다양한 실험이 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단되며, 경화체상의 기초실험을 통해 추후 건축 마감재에 관한 실험도 이루어져야 할 것이다.

  • This study aims to suggest ventilation design data for Public Entertainment Facilities in relation to Indoor Air Quality. The concentration of indoor air pollution such as CO, CO2, RH, Radon, HCHO, TSP was investigate, and the reguired ventilation rate of Public Rooms was calculated. As resuits of this study, the following conclusion could be obtained. Field measurement of P.E.F reveals that the concentration of CO2 was mist polluted and higher than IAQ standard, while that of other pollutats did not exceed the standard. In underground the concentration of CO2 increased 1130ppm(2 persons) 2170ppm(4 persons) 1970ppm(6 persons). The CO2 pollution was serions problem in underground more than second floor, in only exhaust ventilation system more than exhaust and supply system.

  • 라돈(Rn-222)은 우라늄(U-238) 방사능계열의 원소로서 라듐(Ra-226)의 붕괴시 자연생성되는 가스상 물질이다. 화학적으로는 불활성이며 무색, 무취의 특성을 가지고 있다. 공기보다 8∼9배 무겁기 때문에 지표면 가깝게 존재하므로 인체노출이 쉬운 물질로 알려져 있다. 라돈은 최근까지도 온천 등지에서 건강에 매우 좋은 원소로 알려져 왔으나 사실은 기준치 이상의 라돈을 마시거나 호흡했을 경우, 치명적인 폐암을 유발시킨다는 것이 밝혀졌다(Doull et al, 1999) (중략)
