  • There has been increased interest in the health effects of the Environmental Tobacco Smoke(ETS) as a confirmed human carcinogen. It has been known to be extremely difficult to make an accurate assessment of exposure to ETS since it is consisted of a variety of components and there are a number of labile chemicals. Therefore, it is necessary to obtain, to interpretate and to provide the data of quantitative exposure assessment to ETS in the field of environmental health. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the concentration of ETS using VOC in indoor office environments. The correlations and concentrations of benzene, RSP, 3-EP, nicotine that are indicators for ETS were investigate with smoking density, air change per hour(ventilation rate). Air samples were taken in smoking room(7 sites), smoking allowed office (3 sites), corridor outside smoking room(7 sites), non-smoking office (9 sites). The concentrations of benzene showed significant difference according to category of indoor office environments. The geometric mean concentration of benzene were 23.56 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/㎥(range 4.80~192.90 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/㎥) in smoking rooms. 6.16 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/㎥ in smoking allowed offices, 1.32 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/㎥ in the non-smoking offices respectively. The ratios of the concentration of benzene between outdoor air and smoking room, smoking allowed office, and non-smoking indicators concentrations, SD, and SI were 0.82(benzene and nicotine). 0.76(benzene and RSP), 0.60(benzene and SD), 0.76(benzene and SI). It is proposed that benzene is a good indicator for ETS.

  • 실내 사무환경에 대해 흡연환경에 따라 흡연실, 흡연 허용 사무실, 비흡연사무실, 흡연실 인접 지역 등을 대상으로 ETS 중 발암물질인 카드뮴을 포함한 금속류, 니코틴, 3-EP, 호흡성먼지등 지표물질의 농도분포와 이의 분포에 영향을 주는 흡연밀도, 흡연지수 등을 조사하여 그 상관성을 파악하였다. 공기교환횟수는 흡연실과 흡연허용사무실에서 각각 평균 11.1, 4.6 회/시간을 나타냈으며, 흡연밀도는 최고 $2.6cig/m^2{\cdot}hr$에서부터 최저 $0.2cig/m^2{\cdot}hr$로 나타났다. 금속류 중 카드뮴은 기하정규분포를 보였으며 흡연환경별 기하평균 농도가 흡연실에서 $0.045{\mu}g/m^3$, 흡연실 인근 지역에서 $0.018{\mu}g/m^3$, 흡연허용사무실에서 $0.021{\mu}g/m^3$, 비흡연사무실에서는 $0.017{\mu}g/m^3$의 분포를 보였으며 통계적으로는 유의한 차이를 나타냈다(p<0.05). 실내 흡연 환경에 따른 카드뮴의 농도 비를 조사한 결과 비흡연실 기준으로 흡연실에서 2.6배, 흡연허용사무실에서 1.2배의 농도 분포를 보였다. 카드뮴과 지표물질간 상관성을 조사한 결과 니코틴과의 상관계수가 0.53 (p<0.001)으로 가장 높게 나타났으며 호흡성먼지와는 0.43, 3-EP와는 가장 낮은 0.41의 상관계수 값을 보였으며, 흡연 밀도와는 0.54 (P<0.001), 흡연지수와는 0.63(p<0.001)의 상관계수 값을 보였다. 이러한 연구 결과를 토대로 ETS 중 중금속류에서는 카드뮴을 지표물질로 활용할 수 있다고 판단할 수 있다.

  • ETS concentrations in the PC game rooms and factors affecting ETS concentrations were measured. Nicotine, 3-EP, respirable dust and UVPM were used as tracers for ETS. ETS concentrations are 2-3 times higher than those of other results. The concentration of ETS at the commercial district was higher than that of the residential district. The correlations between these tracers and SD/ ACH, a factor affecting to ETS concentration, were calculated. The correlation between 3-ethenylpyridine among tracers and SD/ACH was highest. The correlation between respirable dust and SD/ ACH was lowest. It was difficult to recommend respirable dust as a tracer of ETS.
