Abstract

Currently, Ministry of Environment has promulgated and executed 'the legislation of indoor air quality forpublic facilities' but the data of indoor air pollutant for public facilities of this law was very insufficient.Therefore, collection of data for indoor air pollutants and execution for risk assessment in order to offerscientific data for decision-making of policy to present reasonable standards and preventive techniques ofengineering were required. Therefore, this study collected and re-analysed the articles of exposureassessment for indoor environment in journals related environment in Korea since 1990 and estimated thesafety factor on residents in public facilities. The objective of this study was to offer scientific data fordecision-making of policy for improvement and management of indoor air quality in Korea. As the results ofthis study, the risk assessment for the critical pollutants in CTE (central tendency exposure) showed thatsafety factors according to pollutants were less than 1 which means safe level in micro-environments. It wasinvestigated that the safety factors of CO in hospital, NO2 in terminal, PM10 and NO2 in subway stationrespectively were over than 1 in RME (reasonable maximum exposure). Through the results, it wasinvestigated that health risk by inhalation of criteria and guideline air pollutants in domestic public facilitieswas not high. It should be considered effect of inhalation by other hazardous air pollutants because thisstudy was examined just partial pollutants. Presentation of scientific data for expansion of study is requisiteand active research of health risk assessment about indoor air quality.
