최근 미세먼지가 사회적 이슈가 됨에 따라 지하철 시스템의 공기 질에도 많은 관심이 쏠리고 있다. 지하철 미세먼지는 지상과 달리 폐쇄적인 환경이라는 특징이 있는데, 이로 인해 발생 및 유입된 미세먼지는 지하철 시스템에 축적된다. 지하철 미세먼지의 대부분을 차지하는 미세마모입자들은 철 성분을 주축으로 다양한 중금속 성분을 포함하므로 인체에 해롭다. 본 기고문에서는 이러한 지하철 미세먼지 및 미세마모입자에 대한 기본 지식과 미세마모입자의 주된 발생원인 휠-레일 접촉 미세먼지발생 연구에 대해 소개하고자 한다. 연구 결과들은 지하철 공기 질 향상을 위해 미세마모입자 발생 저감에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

서울의 지하철은 하루 450만 명이 이용하는 중요한 대중교통수단임에도 불구하고 역구내의 먼지에 대한 단순 측정ㆍ분석만이 이뤄지고 있을 뿐 그 먼지의 생물학적 영향에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 지하철역 구내에서 포집한 먼지가 돌연변이원을 함유하고 있는 지를 평가하였다. 신촌역 지하철입구, 대합실, 승강장에서 포집한 총부유분진 (TSP; total suspended particulates)을 용매에 용출시켜 공시재료로 사용하였다.(중략)

To effectively reduce PM10 generated in concourses and platforms of subway stations, a research is being conducted to find the PM10 source. The main source of PM10 in subway stations was PM10 generated in the main line tunnels, which was generated in proportion to the frequency of the train operation. Each amount of the PM10 generated when the train was operated once, was constant regardless of the time. On the assumption that the PM10 level in a tunnel of a line is a sum of newly generated amount of dust when the subway passes and the amount carried from the adjacent stations by the wind generated from the subway rolling stocks, the method which estimates the intensive PM10 occurring section was developed and applied to the 12 stations between Cheongdam and Jangseungbaegi in Seoul Subway Line 7.

In this paper, we designed an algorithm that can control the state of PM by learning the chain failure pattern of PHM based air conditioning facility. It is an inevitable spread of PM due to the downtime caused by the failure of the air conditioning facility. The algorithm developed by us is to establish a PM management system through PHM, and it is an algorithm that maintains a constant stabilization state through learning the stop/operation pattern of the air conditioner and manages PM based on this. As a result of the simulating at a subway station for the performance qualification of the algorithm, it was verified that the concentration of PM reduces by 30% on average. In the case of stations with many passengers using the subway, the concentration of PM exceeded the Ministry of Environment Standards(100 ㎍/m³), but it was verified that the concentration of PM was improved at all stations where the simulation was conducted. In the future research is to expand the system to comprehensively manage not only PM but also pollutants such as CO₂, CO, and NO₂ in subway stations.

서울의 지하철은 하루 450만 명 정도를 수송하는 중요한 대중교통 수단이다. 지하철 역사 내의 실내 환경에 대한 실내공기질 관리는 실내공기 오염의 대상물질에 대한 특정유해물질과 같은 단일 물질에 대한 지표에 의해 관리되고 있다. 그러나 공기중 입자상 물질의 특성은 복합적이기 때문에 공기질에 대한 관리는 여러 제한점을 가지고 있다. 또한 역구내의 먼지에 대한 단순 측정ㆍ분석만이 이뤄지고 있을 뿐 그 먼지의 생물학적 영향에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다 본 연구에서는 지하철역 구내에서 포집한 미세먼지가 돌연변이원을 함유하고 있는 지를 여름과 겨울철에 대한 비교 평가하였다.

서울지하철은 총연장 286.9km에 1일 4226회의 운행회수 그리고 대중교통수단 중 총 34.1％의 최다 수송분담율을 담당하고 있다. 서울시의 도심교통문제 해결 방안으로 시민들에게 대중교통 이용을 적극적으로 권장하고 있으나, 지하철 역사의 환경문제는 답보 상태를 유지하고 있는 것이 현실이다. 지하철내의 먼지문제는 이미 심각한 사회문제로 대두된 지 오래이며 이를 개선하기 위하여 지하철공사와 도시철도공사에서는 환기시스템의 개선, 환기 및 공기정화시설의 설치 그리고 잦은 물청소실시 등을 시행하여 오고 있어 그간 상당한 효과를 이룬 것도 사실이다.

In order to prepare an efficient solution for PM10 reduction in underground stations, the authors measured PM10 concentration levels every 30 minutes in the concourse, platform, and tunnel of Gaehwasan Station of Seoul's subway line 5. Through a correlation analysis of each changing pattern of PM10 concentration, the direction and velocity of diffusion in underground stations were estimated. The PM10 concentration levels were highest in the tunnel, followed by the platform and concourse. PM10 concentrations in the tunnel, platform, and concourse showed a pattern of increasing in the rush hours and decreasing in the non-rush hours. According to the statistical analysis of PM10 concentrations and changing patterns in each location, the higher PM10 concentration in the tunnel expanded to the platform, and some from the platform expanded to the concourse. Therefore, to efficiently reduce PM10 concentrations, it is essential to detect the centralized generation, diffusion factor, expanding route, expanding measure, and other variables and to remove or reduce the diffusion factor and level. Through operating the ventilation system in the right time frame while the PM10 concentration level increases, the power consumption and peak power consumption can be reduced.

The particle matter concentrations in the subway stations should be monitored and controlled for the health of commuters on the subway system. Seoul Metro and Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit Corporation are measuring several air pollutants regularly. In this paper, the reliability of the cheap instruments using light scattering method is improved with the help of a linear regression analysis technique to measure the $PM_{10}$ concentrations continuously in the subway stations. In addition, a monitoring system is implemented to display and record the data of $PM_{10}$, $CO_2$, humidity, and temperature. To transmit and receive these measured sensor data, CDMA M2M wireless communication method is applied.

If human skin is exposed to high concentrations of particulate matter (PM_2.5 and PM₁₀) for a long time in the outdoor environment such as subway tunnel, it will be adversely affected. In particular, fine particles can damage the skin, causing inflammation and allergic reactions. This study investigated the ability of evening primrose root (EEPR) extract to suppress the skin damages caused by the fine particles. PM was collected from a subway tunnel, where high concentrations have been reported per day over the course of a study. The EEPR had higher antioxidant activity than that of control group (62.6%). The mixture of EEPR and PM inhibited the production of nitric oxide (NO), thereby alleviating skin inflammation caused by fine particle dust. EEPR had weaker cytotoxic activity than the positive control. When cells were exposed to particulate-type dust (PM₁₀), the levels of free radicals were decreased with the increased concentrations of the extract (5, 10, 20 ㎍/mL). While at the same time more effective than positive controls. Therefore, this study proved that the Moonlight flower root extract can be used as a cosmetic material for skin by providing an effect to alleviate skin damage caused by fine particle-type dust.
