Recently, due to the airtightness of buildings or the misuse of building materials, we have been witness SHS (Sick House Syndrome) which can have bad influences on the resident in an existing apartment house as well as newly constructed apartment house start to attract public attention. As a result of this situation, we went to restrict the TVOC (Total Volatile Organic Compound) and formaldehyde. But these guidelines concentrated on only TVOC although TVOC are consist of many individual VOC. Therefore, in this study, we will look about concentration change of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) by using Mock-up test. As result of test, the concentration of four individual VOC (Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, Styrene) showed quitely low level after 7 days. On the other hand the concentration of Xylene and formaldehyde showed low level after 14 days.

Vacuum swing adsorption (VSA) is a promising treatment method for volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This study focuses on a VSA process for regenerating activated carbon spent with VOCs, and then investigates its adsorption capacities. Toluene was selected as the test VOC molecule, and the VSA regeneration experiments results were compared to the thermal swing adsorption process. Cyclic adsorption-desorption experiments were performed using a lab-scale apparatus with commercial activated carbon (Samchully Co.). The VSA regeneration was performed in air (0.5 L/min) at 363.15 K and 13,332 Pa. The comparative results depicted that in terms of VSA regeneration, it was found that after the fifth regeneration, about a 90% regeneration ratio was maintained. These experiments thus confirm that the VSA regeneration process has good recovery while operating at low temperatures (363.15 K) and 13,332 Pa.

본 연구에서는 Triple-bed 흡착튜브를 제작하여 열탈착장치와 GC-MS로써 다성분 복합 악취성물질 및 휘발성유기 화합물을 동시분석 가능성을 평가하고자 하였다. Triple-bed 흡착튜브는 하나의 튜브에 Tenax-TA와 소량의 Carbopack B 및 Carbosieve SIII 흡착제를 흡착강도 순으로 3단 배열된 것이다. GC-MS의 분석조건은 mass range 20~350 m/z, 불순물 1 ppm 이하의 헬륨을 운반가스로 하여 저비점 저분자량 물질의 분리동정에 효과적일 수 있도록 하고, 목적이온 추출을 통하여 정량하였다. 그 결과 ppbv 수준의 $C_1{\sim}C_5$의 알콜(4), 알데히드(6), 케톤(2) 그리고 황화합물(2)을 포함한 14종의 물질 모두 99%이상의 회수율과 양호한 재현성 및 직진성으로 동시분석이 가능하였다. 비교적 휘발성이 강하고 분자량이 낮은 물질인 메틸알콜, 아세트알데히드는 상대습도 45% 이하, 흡착유속 50 mL/min, 흡착량 2 L 이하에서 높은 회수율로 보다 안정적으로 정량분석이 가능하였다. 또한 목적이온 추출은 물질피크가 겹쳐 나타난 경우에도 다성분 물질을 각각 정량 가능하였다.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are an important public health problem throughout the world. Many important questions remain to be addressed in assessing exposure to these compounds. Because they are ubiquitous and highly volatile, special techniques must be applied in the analytical determination of VOCs. Personal exposure measurements are needed to evaluate the relationship between microenvironmental concentrations and actual exposures. It is also important to investigate exposure frequency, duration, and intensity, as well as personal exposure characteristics. In addition to air monitoring, biological monitoring may contribute significantly to risk assessment by allowing estimation of absorbed doses, rather than just the external exposure concentrations, which are evaluated by environmental and personal monitoring. This study was conducted to establish the analytic procedure of VOCs in air, blood, urine and exhaled breath and to evaluate the relationships among these environmental media. The subjects of this study were selected because they are occupationally exposed to high levels of VOCs. Environmental, personal, blood, urine and exhalation samples were collected. Purge ＆ trap, thermal desorber, gas chromatography and mass selective detector were used to analyze the collected samples. Analytical procedures were validated with the“break through test”, 'quot;recovery test for storage and transportation”,“method detection limit test”and“inter-laboratory QA/QC study”. Assessment of halogenated compounds indicted that they were significantly correlated to each other (p value < 0.01). In a similar manner, aromatic compounds were also correlated, except in urine sample. Linear regression was used to evaluate the relationships between personal exposures and environmental concentrations. These relationships for aromatic and halogenated are as follows: Halogen $s_{personal}$ = 3.875+0.068Halogen $s_{environmet}$, ($R^2$= .930) Aromatic $s_{personal}$ = 34217.757-31.266Aromatic $s_{environmet}$, ($R^2$= .821) Multiple regression was used to evaluate the relationship between exposures and various exposure deter-minants including, gender, duration of employment, and smoking history. The results of the regression model-ins for halogens in blood and aromatics in urine are as follows: Halogen $s_{blood}$ = 8.181+0.246Halogen $s_{personal}$+3.975Gender ($R^2$= .925), Aromatic $s_{urine}$ = 249.565+0.135Aromatic $s_{personal}$ -5.651 D.S ($R^2$ = .735), In conclusion, we have established analytic procedures for VOC measurement in biological and environmental samples and have presented data demonstrating relationships between VOCs levels in biological media and environmental samples.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to measure the concentration of volatile organic compound (VOC)s originated from the chemicals used and/or derived from the original parental chemicals in the photolithography processes of semiconductor manufacturing factories. Methods: A total of four photolithography processes in 4 Fabs at three different semiconductor manufacturing factories in Korea were selected for this study. This study investigated the types of chemicals used and generated during the photolithography process of each Fab, and the concentration levels of VOCs for each Fab. Results: A variety of organic compounds such as ketone, alcohol, and acetate compounds as well as aromatic compounds were used as solvents and developing agents in the processes. Also, the generation of by-products, such as toluene and phenol, was identified through a thermal decomposition experiment performed on a photoresist. The VOC concentration levels in the processes were lower than 5% of the threshold limit value (TLV)s. However, the air contaminated with chemical substances generated during the processes was re-circulated through the ventilation system, thereby affecting the airborne VOC concentrations in the photolithography processes. Conclusion: Tens of organic compounds were being used in the photolithography processes, though the types of chemical used varied with the factory. Also, by-products, such as aromatic compounds, could be generated during photoresist patterning by exposure to light. Although the airborne VOC concentrations resulting from the processes were lower than 5% of the TLVs, employees still could be exposed directly or indirectly to various types of VOCs.

Biological methods are frequently used for treatment of contaminated air, containing volatile organic compounds and odor compounds in low concentrations and high flow rate of air streams. For more than 20 years. biofilter has been recognized as a cost effective technology for the purification of contaminated air. Most commercial applications before 1990 were for control of odors. In the past decades major progress has been accomplished in the development of vapor phase bioreactor. in particular biotrickling filers. Biotrickling filters are more complex than biofilters. but are usually more effective, especially for the treatment of compounds which are difficult to degrade or compounds that generate acidic by-products. While the level of understanding of biotrickling filtration process for VOCs still remains limited. the evidence success of biotreatment of VOC in air resulted in pursuing active research. This paper presents fundamental and practical aspert of VOCs treatment from air in biotrickling filter. Special emphasis is given to the operating parameters and the factors influencing performance for biotrickling filter.

VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds)는 대기오염의 주원인으로서 인식되어왔다. 촉매산화는 저온에서 높은 효율을 나타내기 때문에 VOCs 제거를 위한 가장 중요한 처리기술중 하나이다. 이 연구에서는 $TiO_2$ 담체에 Pt, Ir 그리고 Pt-Ir을 담시지켜 촉매를 제조하였다. 반응물로서 Xylene을 사용하였다. 단일 또는 두 가지 이상의 촉매들은 함침법에 의해 준비하였고, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photo electron spectroscopy (XPS), transmittence electron microscophy (TEM) 분석을 통하여 특성화하였다. 그 결과 Pt 촉매는 Ir 촉매에 비해 더 높은 전환율을 나타내었고, Pt-Ir 촉매는 가장 높은 전환율을 나타내었다. VOCs 산화에서, Pt-Ir 촉매는 다양한 활성점을 나타내었고 그것은 Pt의 metal 영역을 강화시켰다. 따라서 두 가지 금속으로 이루어진 촉매가 단일 금속으로 이루어진 촉매에 비해 VOCs 전환율이 더 높았다. 동역학적으로 VOCs 산화는 1차 반응이다. 이 연구에서 Pt에 Ir을 소량 첨가함으로써 VOCs 산화반응에 효과적이었다.

VOCs(Volatile Organic Compounds)의 대부분은 유해물질로 대기 오염뿐만 아니라 지구 온난화의 원인물질로 작용하고 있다. 이로 인해 VOCs는 국가마다 배출을 줄이기 위해 정책적으로 관리되고 있다. 특히, 주유소에서 발생하는 유증기는 발암물질인 벤젠 등 인체에 유해하며 환경부에서 연료 주유 시 발생하는 휘발성 유기화합물을 회수할 수 있도록 유증기 회수장치 설치를 의무화하고 있다. 최근에는 기존의 유증기 처리 방식을 발전시켜 폭발이나 화재 등을 방지하기 위하여 유증기를 냉각시켜 현장에서 바로 회수하도록 하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 위험성이 존재하는 액화기의 상태를 실시간으로 모니터링 할 수 있도록 유증기 액화장치에 센서를 부착하여 액화기 측정 정보를 모니터링 할 수 있는 모니터링 서버 및 안드로이드 기반의 모니터링 앱 어플리케이션을 개발하여 원격관리 서비스 모델을 제시하고자 한다.
