Abstract

In this study, To subject the constructed at N-kindergarten in G-city, the position is closed window and opened window was measured using a measuring instrument for radon. The measured results indicate that the measurement was carried out in concentrations of radon gas measured at N-kindergarten is low than United States in the radon concentration in air public 4pCi called radon gas baseline maximum allowable concentrations. As a result, radon exposure is not a problem, but when the accumulation radon gas in the lungs, get damaged same lung cancer. Be defensive of kindergarten windows open for ventilation and dust removal be possible to reduce the exposure.

본 연구는 G광역시 N유치원을 대상으로 창문을 닫고 열은 상태에서 라돈 가스를 측정하였다. 측정 결과 라돈가스를 측정한 N유치원의 실내 평균 라돈농도는 창문을 닫았을 때 2.9pCi, 창문을 열었을 때 0.8pCi로 미국 일반인 공기 중 라돈가스 최대허용농도 기준치인 4pCi 이하의 값으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 N유치원에서 라돈 가스에 대한 피폭은 문제가 되지 않으나 라돈 가스가 폐에 축척이 되면 폐암과 같은 피해를 입을 수 있다. 따라서 방어적 측면에서 유치원 내의 창문을 자주 열어 환기를 하는 것이 매우 중요함을 알 수 있었다.
