Carbon soot emission from combustion processes, especially from diesel engines, is a subject of growing concern since soot is known to seriously affect human health. Efforts have been made to oxidize soot particles utilizing Non-Thermal Plasma(NTP) techniques. When oxygen is carried into a plasma device, electrons generated by the plasma dissociate the oxygen, resulting in the formation of oxygen atoms. These highly activated atoms, called O radicals, are known as strong oxidizing agent. This paper presents concentration variations of CO and $CO_2$ at the exit of the plasma device, resulting from the soot oxidation by O radicals, with variations of inlet oxygen concentration, gas temperature, and gas flow rate. Based on the data, Arrehenious rate constants of reactions between C(s)+O and C(s)+O+O were proposed.

점화원이 무엇이든 화염의 확산과 인체에 영향을 미치는 직접적인 요소는 가연물이다. 음악학원, 노래방 등에서 사용하고 있는 마감재인 흡음재는 폴리우레탄으로 구성되며 연소 시 다량의 유독가스를 발생한다는 것은 알려진 사실이다. 그럼에도 현행법은 학원의 경우 수용인원 100명 미만의 경우 난연 마감재를 사용해야 한다는 강행규정이 없다. 본 연구에서는 실제 음악학원에 설치된 흡음재를 수거하여 실화재 연소실험을 통해 화염확산 속도를 측정하였으며, MultiRaelite 복합가스 측정기(타겟물질 VOC, HCHO, SO₂, CO₂, CO, HCN, NO₂)를 이용하여 유독가스를 측정한 결과 Time weighted average (TWA)와 Short term exposure limit (STEL)의 허용농도를 초과하여 기기한계값이 측정되었다. 또한 시중에 판매중인 난연 흡음재와 비난연 흡음재를 비교 연소 실험한 결과, 착화 및 확산에 있어 현격한 차이를 보였다. 따라서 실험결과를 바탕으로 수용인원 100명 미만의 학원에도 난연 마감재 사용을 강제할 필요가 있음을 제언하고자 한다.

This study was carried out to observe the impacts of a mouse's inhalation of toxic gas SO2 generated from combustion on its organs by different concentrations. As for research methods: First, after concentrations of SO2 generation from combustion had been set to three: low (10.4 ppm), middle (24.9 ppm) and high (122 ppm) through Gas Toxicity Testing Method (KS F 2271) and SO2 combustion gas was exposed to eight mice in each concentration. Five mice that were able to move based on LD50, a criterion, which sets the down time of a mouse's average behaviors to over 9 minutes, were randomly selected in each concentration, and they were set up as the subjects of the study on toxicity bio-markers. Second, tissues were taken from heart, liver, lungs, spleen and the thymus gland of the mice selected in each concentration and a pathological examination of them was carried out. As a result, microvascular congestion appeared in the heart, and cell necrosis, cortex congestion and tubule medulla congestion, etc. in each concentration were observed in addition to vascular congestion in liver, lungs, spleen and the thymus gland. Also, it was found that the higher the concentrations of SO2 exposure is, the greater, the changes in the organs get. Through this study, SO2 of various toxic gases generated from fire turned out to affect the tissues of each organ of a mouse, it is expected that the toxic gases may greatly affect human body in case of actual fire, and this study is evaluated as having a significance as a basic data on inhalation toxicity assessment of toxic substances generated in combustion.

건축 재료별 연소가스에 따른 인체 유해성 평가에 관한 본 연구는 SEM, FTIR와 콘칼로리미터를 이용하여 목재류인 MDF와 나왕방부목 2종과 화학물질인 난연 스티로폼, 스티로폼, 우레탄폼 및 석고보드 4종의 플라스틱류 각각의 재료별 연소가스 분석을 하였다. 분석결과, MDF는 연소된 부분의 나무구조와 접착제가 혼합되어 균일하게 연소되었고 나왕방부목은 난연 약제가 깊숙이 침투하여 높은 열에도 목재의 형태를 일정하게 유지하였다. 난연 스티로폼은 불이 붙지 않고 녹아내렸는데 무기계 난연제 때문으로 사료되고 석고보드는 형태는 유지했으나 열에 취약함을 확인하였다. MDF에서 암모니아($NH_3$)치사농도(750 ppm)대비 795 ppm, 나왕방부목은 이산화탄소($CO_2$)가 256,965 ppm으로 치사농도(100,000 ppm)의 2.5배 초과하였고, 우레탄에서 염화수소(HCl)의 치사농도(500 ppm)를 초과하는 697 ppm, 또한 우레탄에서 이산화질소($NO_2$) 치사농도(250 ppm)를 크게 초과하는 434 ppm과 난연 스티로폼 398 ppm이 방출되었다. 대부분의 재료에서 인체에 매우 유해한 가스가 방출됨을 확인하였고, 본 연구결과는 향후 건축 재료별 인체 유해성을 평가하는 기초데이터로 활용하고자 한다.

This research deals with the combustion experiment of pine trees, which are the most representative species in Korea. Experimental data are compared with theoretical ones using Fire Simulation Program(FDS). It is considered that horizontal/vertical temperature distribution and radiant heat influence on adjacent areas in fire scenes. The linear function for separation distance to temperature was drawn by applying Stefan-Boltzmann's law; $y=112.13133{\times}({\sigma}T^4)^{-0.52916}$ for calculating the separation distance. In combustion experiment, the radiant heat came to $1.4{\sim}1.5kW/m^2$ in case of the separation distance by one meter. The numerical values mean that human body show the critical level of pain after one minute without a protective equipment.

Recently developed a variety of architectural interior decoration according hwadoeme type of toxic gases generated during fire also are becoming diversified, resulting in fatal casualties occurred in the trend is also being increased. During a fire, toxic gas that is generated varies depending on the combustible material occurs. However, all combustible materials, including carbon, incomplete combustion of carbon monoxide which is generated in the most common toxic gases can be seen as one. Accordingly, in this study of organic solids that are generated in case of fire toxic gases, and briefly discuss the characteristics of the risks and, by far the most common Co gas for measures to prevent human casualties, seolbijeok, the temperature dependence, divided into four aspects of administrative daechaekdeung explained.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are frequently detected in food, water, soil, and sediment and are widespread environmental pollutants formed by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, woods and other organic matter. PAHs are considered to be probable human carcinogens. The mechanism of action of PAHs has been studied extensively, however it is not clear how PAHs turn on CYP1A1 in human breast cancer. Our laboratory have been studied the effect of PAHs in the human breast cancer cell MCF7. In this study, we examined the ZR-75-1 human breast cancer cells as a new system to evaluate bioactivity of PAHs. ZR-75-1 human breast cancer cell line responses to estrogen and progesteron. We have been able to estbilish long term culture system of this cells then used for the study to observe the effect of PAHs. We demonstrate that PAHs induced the CYP1A1 promoter and 7-ethoxyresolufin O-deethylase (EROD) activity in a concentration-dependant manner. RT-PCR analysis indicated that PAHs significantly up-regulate the level of CYP1A1 mRNA. Some of PAHs showed stronger stimulatory effect on CYP1 gene expression than TCDD. Apparently, ZR-75-1 cells have Aryl hydrocarbon receptors, therefore it would be good experimental tool to study the cross-talk between PAHs and steroid actions.

건축물에서 화재 시 인명과 재산의 피해를 줄이기 위해서는 초기의 화염의 확산을 억제하는 것이 우선되어야 한다. 화염의 확산을 방지하기 위한 화재확산방지 대책은 일반적으로 방화구획에서의 구조부재의 내화 성능 확보, 마감재료의 연소 성능에 따른 사용 제한 등이 있다. 마감재료의 연소 성능 판단은 화염의 확산을 판단하기 위해 가장 기초적인 화재 안전 설계이지만 국내의 연소 시험은 시편 크기의 화재 시험 방법으로 연소 성능을 판단하고 있어 샌드위치패널 등과 같은 복합재료의 연소 성능을 판단하기에는 많은 제약을 가지고 있다. 특히 외벽 마감재료의 경우 내부 마감재료에 비해 드라이비트, 알루미늄복합패널, 메탈패널 등과 같은 다양한 복합재료 등이 사용되고 있기 때문에 본 연구에서는 외벽 마감재료의 국제시험규격인 ISO 13785-2 시험방법을 통해 외벽 마감재료의 실물 화재 실험을 통해 외벽 마감재료의 수직화재 확산 특성을 판단하고자 하였다.
