Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of work intensity on fit factor and affective quality of the dustproof Background: Among the victims who suffer pneumoconiosis due to the inhalation of toxic substances or the lack of oxygen during the work, the proportion of the victims is larger than the other causes. Wearing a respirator may prevent pneumoconiosis, but it can be hazardous to workers because of the leakage through filters, cartridges, exhaust valves, broken parts, and face-to-face contact. Despite leakage through the contact area between the mask and the face has various causes such as the wearer's activity, sweat accumulation, facial shape, etc., There is a lack of relevant research and regulation compared to developed countries that have already institutionalized the law 30 years ago and give the right to sell through a test Method: The work intensity was adjusted by walking or running at 6km/h and 11km/h on the treadmill, and tasks were defined with reference to the test procedure and the exercise sequence applied in the face leakage test of the dustproof mask. And fit factor was measured objectively using 'Respirator Fit Tester 8038' which measures fit factor calculated by dividing the number of dust present outside the mask by inside the mask. In addition, affective quality was classified by the ease of use, ease of breathing, and ease of wearing, and was measured using the 5-point likert scale questionnaire. Results: There was a significant difference in fit factor, ease of breathing, and wearing convenience according to work intensity and no significant difference in ease of use(${\alpha}=0.01$). And when the work intensity was high, fit factor, ease of breathing, and wearing convenience were all lower than when the work intensity was low. Conclusion: In Korea, it is necessary to consider consideration of the work intensity when testing the leakage rate of the face part for safety certification of the respiratory protective equipment, When developing a mask, it should be possible to maintain high adhesion even under intense, active situation and high temperature conditions by selecting materials, improving the wearing style, and expanding the adjustable range.

본 논문에서는 고성능 활성탄의 악취 및 유해가스 흡착효율과 멜트브로운(M/B)부직포의 여과성능에 의한 복합적인 고기능 방진특성을 갖는 활성탄 부착 M/B 국산화 여과재를 제조개발하였다. 고성능 활성탄은 고순도의 일반활성탄에 금속염, 유기물 등을 담지시켜 활성화시킨 활성탄이고, M/B여과재의 웹(web)제조조건은 M/B 방사기에서 방사온도 250℃, 방사속도 150m/sec, 고온공기온도 250℃ 그리고 DCD(die to collector distance) 20cm가 적합함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 M/B 여과재에 활성탄 부착은 열롤러시스템에 의한 열적결합방법을 이용하여 균일한 분포의 점접착결합구조를 갖도록 하였고, 개발된 복합기능 여과재가 방진마스크용 여과재로의 이용이 가능하다는 것을 분진포집효율, 투과율, 흡기저항 등 여과재 성능기준실험 결과를 통해 확인하였다.
