보육시설의 실내공기 중 VOCs 분포 특성
Characteristics of Volatile Organic Compounds for Indoor Air in Child-care Facilities
Abstract
This study was performed in the 175 selected child-care facilities in the urban area (Seoul, Suwon,Daejeon, and Busan) and the industrial complex area (Sihwa and Yeosu) to measure of the characteristics ofVOCs in the indoor air from August, 2007 to April, 2008. All samples were collected at the indoor and outdoorplaces to the child-care facilities in spring, summer, and winter seasons using the Tenex absorption trap andwere analyzed through the GC/MSD. The mean concentration of VOCs in the 175 child-card facilities showedthe highest levels of 73.68 ㎍/m3in the toluene and the lowest levels of 0.28 ㎍/m3in the chlorobenzene. Inthe concentration of the TVOC, it exceeded 2.5 times more as the indoor air quality guideline in Korea. Theresult of this study was found that the concentration of VOCs in the child-care facilities in Korea mayinfluenced from the some factors such as the constructional period, traffic density, and ventilation rate. Thesefindings may expected to imply that effective risk management strategies should be applied to minimize thepublic health effects for children in the child-care facilities in Korea.
