신축공동주택의 실내공기질에 영향을 미치는 휘발성유기화합물 및 카보닐화합물의 농도와 입주 후 거주기간에 따른 오염도 변화추이를 파악하고자 입주 후 신축 공동주택 120세대를 대상으로 실내공기 오염도를 조사하였다. 신축 공동주택 입주 후 TVOC (Total Volatile Organic Compounds; TVOCs)평균농도는 $688.61{\mu}g/m^3$으로 나타났으며, 포름알데히드, 톨루엔, m, p-자일렌, 아세톤, 에틸벤젠이 $158.56{\mu}g/m^3$, $146.58{\mu}g/m^3$, $69.28{\mu}g/m^3$, $63.80{\mu}g/m^3$, $29.65{\mu}g/m^3$의 순으로 높게 나타났다. 또한, 대부분의 실내오염물질들은 입주 후 거주기간이 증가함에 따라 평균농도가 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으나, d-리모넨의 경우 입주 후 2개월에서 10개월까지 지속적으로 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 톨루엔, 에틸벤젠, m, p, o-자일렌 등의 주요오염물질이 전체 VOCs에서 차지하는 비율은 38.8%로 나타났으며, 거주기간에 증가함에 따라 구성비율이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

신축공동주택에서 발생되는 실내공기 오염물질 중 휘발성유기화합물 및 카보닐화합물의 농도분포특성을 파악하고자 신축공동주택 120세대를 대상으로 실내공기 오염도 실태조사를 실시한 결과, 입주 전 신축공동주택의 실내공기 오염물질 농도는 톨루엔이 $272.81{\mu}g/m^3$, m, p-자일렌 $98.90{\mu}g/m^3$, 포름알데히드 $71.68{\mu}g/m^3$, 아세톤 $70.58{\mu}g/m^3$, 에틸벤젠 $49.76{\mu}g/m^3$로 조사되었다.

In Korea, there is a general lack of information available on air emissions from industry. The reasons for this include the lack of regulatory requirements for emission monitoring, limited information on specific industries, and difficulties in monitoring certain sources. This paper presents the first detailed air pollutant emission factors from composite wood product manufacturing in Korea. This study introduced emission factors for wood-based panels such as plywood, particle board (PB), and medium density fiberboard (MDF). The emission factors of particulate matters (PM) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from MDF were higher than that from other wood products. The concentration of total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs) for hot press from wood-based panels was higher than drying or gluing processes. Emissions data from NPIP were compared to the data from the suggested emission factors in this study and the US EPA's. The data from our emission factors were closer to the observed results than the data using the US EPA's emission factor.

Increases of public attention on healthy environment lead to the regulation of indoor air quality such as Clean Healthy House Construction Standard. This standard covers emission of total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs) (e.g., formaldehyde, benzene, and toluene), ventilation, and use of environmentally-friendly products or functional products. Moisture absorption and desorption abilities are a recommended functionality for improving indoor air quality. In this study, moisture absorption and desorption capacities of carbonized board from wood-based panels and other materials were determined by using UNT-HEAT-01 according to ISO 24358:2008. Pine had higher moisture absorption and desorption capacities ($49.0g/m^2$ and $35.3g/m^2$, respectively) than hinoki cypress, cement board, gypsum board, oriented strand board, and medium density fiberboard (MDF). The moisture absorption and desorption capacities differed considerably according to the wood species. After carbonization process at $400^{\circ}C$, the absorption and desorption ability of MDF increased to 38% and 60%, respectively. However, moisture absorption and desorption capacities decreased with increasing carbonization temperature, but they were still higher than original MDF. Therefore, it is suggested that carbonization below $600^{\circ}C$ can improve moisture absorption/desorption capacities.

A three-layered PVC sheet consisting of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and woven polyester fabric was prepared by extrusion and calendering. The flexibility and durability of the PVC were tuned by adding plasticizers, additives, and surface coatings. The tensile and tear strengths of the three-layered PVC sheet were higher than those of commercial two-layered sheet, while exhibiting low weight. The concentrations of the total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs) and formaldehyde (HCHO) emitted from the sheet were also lowered. The PVC sheet remained stable after prolonged exposure to UV light, signifying that the PVC sheet is suitable for cargo screen applications.

본 연구에서는 2007년 12월 태안반도의 원유유출 사고 당시 대기중 방출된 휘발성유기화합물의 농도를 추정하고자 원유유출 모의시험 챔버를 제작하였다. 이 챔버를 이용하여 온도와 기류를 변수로 두고, 시간에 따른 총 VOCs 농도와 개별 VOCs 농도의 변화를 측정 분석 하였다. 기류가 강할수록 VOCs의 농도가 낮고 온도가 높을수록 VOCs의 농도가 높다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 총 휘발성유기화합물(TVOCs)은 원유가 유출된 직후 6일이 지나면서 초기농도 대비 90% 이상이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

Polishing tiles among porcelain tiles are more durable and aesthetic than ceramic tiles, so their demand has recently increased. In particular, since polishing tiles have a very low absorption rate, organic adhesives with chemical bonds are mainly used. However, organic adhesives have low economic efficiency and some volatile organic compounds (TVOCs). Therefore purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of polishing tile adhesion by developing organic-inorganic adhesives, which have chemical bonds and mechanical bonds. As a result, since the amorphous chain and chemical bonds of the polymer in the tile adhesives, both tensile and shear adhesion strength were satisfied with the KS L 1592, KS L 1593, and the rate of length change itself in the thermal cycling was lower than organic adhesives. So it is thought that it is possible to replace some organic adhesives.

나노카본볼과 활성탄을 혼합하여 자동차용 팰트에서 발생하는 휘발성유기화합물의 흡착성능을 시험하였다. 자동차에서 발생하는 휘발성유기화합물의 양을 측정하는 최적의 분석방법으로 고성능 액체크로마토그래피와 가스크로마토그래피를 활용하였다. 새로 생산된 팰트에서는 포름알데히드가 0.3~6.0 ppm 존재하였으나 상온에서 14일 동안 숙성시키면 0.2~0.5 ppm으로 감소하였고, 아세트알데히드도 0.2~3.0 ppm에서 0.2~0.4 ppm으로 감소하였다. 새로 생산된 팰트에서 발생되는 총 휘발성유기화합물은 $8.49{\mu}g/TP$로 일본자동차협회의 허용치에 비하여 약 26배나 높게 관측되었으나, 나노카본볼과 활성탄 혼합물 0.2 wt%를 팰트에 첨가시키면 $0.32{\mu}g/TP$ 이하로 저감할 수 있었다.

Because of the building is made airtight, Indoor Air Quality(IAQ) is go from bad to worse. There are many source of indoor pollution in any home. These include irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. Such immediate effects are usually short-term and treatable. In this study was measured and analyzed VOCs exposure levels and characteristic of Indoor air pollutant from new apartments in Korea. VOCs were measured indoor pre-residential and residential in new apartment and analyzed GC/MS. The concentration levels of indoor respirable TVOC were found to be higher than those of outdoor TVOC for new apartments. Before occupation, the average indoor and outdoor concentrations were 1498.61 $ug/m^3$ and 468.38 $ug/m^3$, respectively. After being occupied, the average indoor and outdoor concentration were 847.04 $ug/m^3$ and 102.84, respectively. The concentrations of TVOC in new apartments before occupation were shown in the order of Toluene(328.12 $ug/m^3$) > m,p-Xylene(163.67 $ug/m^3$) > Ethy1benzene(80.70 $ug/m^3$>o-XYlene (67.04$ug/m^3$). In addition, the TVOCs concentrations after occupation were also found in the order of Toluene (272.28 $ug/m^3$) > m.p-Xylene(121.79 $ug/m^3$) > Ethylbenzene(53.92 $ug/m^3$)>O-Xylene(24.94 $ug/m^3$). As a result, the concentrations of VOCs in new apartment houses were shown to be affected by indoor environment according activity patterns. So new apartments need to be controled in indoor air quality so that the residents can have more comfortable and healthier living environment.

Objectives: Scientific verification for health effects has been constantly demanded through the forest healing factors. In this study, phytoncide concentration which is one of the forest healing factors, was investigated according to stand density, season and visiting time, and analyzed correlation with micrometeorology factors. Methods: Total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs) and Natural volatile organic compounds (NVOCs) were collected using a measuring instrument which is connected to an air pump with the Tenax TA tube. The 32NVOCs were selected through the detailed criteria of adequacy assessment for recreational forest. The statistical analysis (correlation and stepwise regression analysis) was conducted between phytoncide concentration and micrometeorology factors. Results: NVOCs concentration linearly increased according to stand density. The high level showed in the summer (p<0.05), and there is no significant difference according to visiting hours of the Healing forest. NVOCs is a negative correlation with solar radiation, PAR and wind direction, and a positive correlation with relative humidity and temperature (p<0.01). NVOCs increased following the increase of humidity and temperature ($R^2=0.55$). Conclusions: Phytoncide linearly increased according to stand density, and showed the correlation significantly with microclimate factors. In future, these results will be utilized as a basic material to promote the generation of phytoncide, which positively influences human health promotion and manage the forest welfare space.
