Together with the concern about the indoor all quality as sick house syndrome, the Ministry of Environment announced "Indoor Air Quality Control Law for the Multi Purpose Facility," which made the interests to be focused in the urgent understanding of current condition and preparation of measures about the indoor air pollution. In Dec 2005, the law was revised to obligatorily notify the amount of Formaldehyde and Volatile Organic Compounds in the case of newly constructed apartments with more than 100 houses. School also have its own indoor air quality guideline, Indoor air quality in school is very important because, children who very weak to indoor pollutants reside long time in there. The purpose of this paper is to survey indoor air qualify in school by field measurement. Field measurements were performed in 11 schools which were selected from 3 major cities(Incheon, Dae-jeon, chuncheon) in korea, during July, 2004. Totally concentration of Indoor pollutants were determined in 27 classroom. Target air pollutants were TVOC, formaldehyde, dust, CO, CO2 and NO2. For the result of this investigation, Indoor air quality in classroom was very poor and it was found that some pollutants (TVOC, float bacteria) exceed the guideline.

The purpose of this study is to reevaluate the performance of Hanji as a architectural material. Recent studies report that one of the causes of the Sick-HouseㆍSick-Building Syndrome is due to the contaminants from interior materials and the lack of ventilation. In this study, the properties of Hanji are investigated. The major focuses of this research are (1) how efficient the Hanji is for ventilation of the house and (2) whether the usage of Hanji brings required ventilation volume to the house. According to the test results, differential pressure in the air and the amount of ventilation showed linear relationship. Test results differ from various kinds of Hanji. Since houses usually have double window system, Hanji can be used to the windows system, especially for inner part of double window system. It is suggested that the combination of Hanji windows for the inner part and glass windows for outer part is very effective, and offers a solution to improvement of indoor air quality and the lack of ventilation with passive ventilation that has less energy consumption.

For the air-conditioner, refrigerant induced noise and vibration should be the problem when it reduced airflow rate in order to reduce the noise at low mode. With the test, it could be verified that one of the main reason for refrigerant induced noise were the velocity and flowing induced force of the refrigerant at the inlet of evaporator. So in order to reduce this velocity with same mass flow rate of refrigerant, quality at the evaporator inlet should be minimized. And in order to reduce flowing induced force of the refrigerant, flowing direction change should be eliminated. So in this paper, it would like to review the characteristics of refrigerating cycle at first and find how the quality and flowing induced force can be minimized.

목적: 지하에 위치한 방사선치료 관련시설 내의 실내공기 질은 근무자뿐만 아니라 장기간 치료받는 환자들의 건강에도 중요하다. 저자들은 근무자들의 빌딩증후군 증상유무의 확인과 함께 실내공기 질과 관련된 여러 인자들을 측정, 분석하여 그 원인을 찾고 해결책을 제시하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 근무자들을 대상으로 자각증상 및 근무환경 인식과 관련된 설문조사를 하였고, 예비조사를 바탕으로 실내공기 질과 관련된 항목들(온 습도, 미세먼지, 이산화탄소, 일산화탄소, 포름알데히드, 총휘발성유기화합물, 라돈)에 대해 근무자들이 주로 머무르는 지역들을 중심으로 일정기간 측정하였다. 아울러 환기(공조) 시스템의 효율 및 주변 환경에 대한 평가를 동시에 진행하였으며, 실외공기와의 비교평가를 위해 1층(실외)에서도 같은 항목들을 측정하였고, 측정 자료들은 국내외 환경관련 기관들의 권고 수치를 기준으로 각각 평가하였다. 결과: 설문조사에서 근무자들은 악취, 습도, 먼지 등에 대해 불만족을 보였으며, 근골격계 증상, 신경계 증상, 점막 자극 증상 등을 주로 호소하였다. 대부분의 실내공기 질 관련 항목들은 기준치를 넘지 않았으나 총휘발성유기화합물 수치가 기존 미국 사무실 측정 수치에 비해 $3{\sim}4$배 높게 나왔다. 환기 횟수나 환기량에서는 문제가 없었으나 실외공기 유입구와 실내공기 배출구의 위치 문제로 인해 오염된 공기의 유입 가능성이 있었다. 총휘발성유기화합물을 배출할 수 있는 현상액과 같은 화학물질의 관리에 주의가 필요했으며, 오염된 공기의 재유입 문제를 해결하기 위해 환기 시스템의 위치조정이 시급한 상황이었다. 결론: 저자들은 실내공기 질에 대한 평가에서 일부 화학물질 및 부적절한 환기 시스템으로 인해 근무자들이 주관적인 증상을 호소할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 지하 공간에서 장시간 거주하는 근무자들의 근무여건 개선과 함께 면역저하를 동반한 환자들의 건강관리를 위해 실내공기 질에 대한 평가는 반드시 필요하며, 그 자료를 바탕으로 향후 방사선종양학과의 설계나 기존 시설의 환경개선 등에 적극적으로 이용해야 하겠다.
