Abstract

There has been an increased awareness of the need to confirm the chloroform exposure associated with using chlorinated household water. Ten of a 30-minute tub bath were normally taken by two volunteers in a bathroom of an apartment. Chloroform concentrations were measured in bathing water and bathroom air, and exhaled breath of the subjects prior to and after bathing. Bathing using chlorinated tap water resulted in a chloroform exposure and caused a body burden. Based on the difference of chloroform concentrations between breath samples collected prior to and after bathing, the chloroform body burden from a 30-minute bath was estimated to be about 8 to 26 folds higher than that prior to the bath. The mean water and bathroom air chloroform concentrations measured to evaluate the body burden were $9.4\mu\textrm{g}/l$ and TEX>$14.9\mu\textrm{g}/m^3$, respectively. The chloroform level of the bathroom air was 각 to 130 times higher than that of the living-room air. The relationship between the bathroom air and the corresponding breath chloroform concentrations were significant with p=0.03 and $R^2=0.47$.

일반 가정의 염소 처리된 수소수 사용과 관련되 클로로포롬 노풀을 확인 할 필요성에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 삼십분 동안의 정상적인 목욕이 아파트의 한 욕실에서 두명의 자원자에 의해서 10차례 행해졌다. 클로로포름 농도가 물과 욕실 공기 및 목욕 전후에 피실험자의 호기로부터 측정되었다. 염소처리 수도수를 사용하여 목욕을 했을 \ulcorner\ulcorner 클로로포름에 대한 노출이 일어났고, 인체 부담도 야기되었다. 목욕 전후에 채취된 호기 시료의 농도차에 기초하여. 한번의 30분 목욕으로 부터 야기되는 클로로포름에 대한 인체부담은 목욕전에 비하여 8배 내지 26배가 되는 것으로 산정 되었다. 이와같은 인체부담을 설명하기 위해서 측정된 물과 욕실공기내의 클로로포름 농도는 각각 $9.4\mu\textrm{g}/l$ 및 $14.9\mu\textrm{g}/m^3$ 이었다. 이러한 욕셀 공기내의 클로로포름 농도는 거실공기 보다 34배 내지 130배 가량 높게 나타났다. 욕실공기와 해당 호기에서의 클로로포름의 농도 관계는 p=0.03 와 $R^2=0.47$의 조건에서 유의성이 있는 것으로 나타났다.
