최소자연발화온도는 가연성물질이 주위의 열에 의해 스스로 발화하는 최저온도이다. 최소자연발화온도는 유기혼합물중 가연성 액체혼합물의 안전한 취급을 위해서 중요한 지표가 된다. 본 연구에서는 ASTM E659 장치를 이용하여 가연성 혼합물인 n-butanol+p-xylene 혼합물의 최소자연발화온도를 측정하였다. 2성분계를 구성하는 순수물질인 n-butanol과 p-xylene의 최소자연발화온도는 각 각 $340^{\circ}C$, $557^{\circ}C$로 측정되었다. 그리고 측정된 n-butanol+p-xylene 혼합물의 최소자연발화온도는 제시된 식에 의한 예측값과 적은 평균절대오차에서 일치하였다.

가연성 혼합물의 최소자연발화온도 거동(MAITB, Minimum Autoignition Temperature Behavior)은 어떤 조성에서 두개의 순수물질 가운데 낮은 물질의 AIT보다 낮은 AIT를 갖는 현상을 말하며, 이는 위험물을 취급하는 공정에서 매우 관심있는 분야이다. 본 연구는 ASTM E659-78(Standard Test Method for Autoignition Temperature of Liquid Chemical)을 이용하여 toluene과 iso-propanol(IPA) 및 p-xylene과 n-butanol혼합물의 최소자연발화온도를 측정하였다. Toluene, IPA, p-xylene 그리고 n-butanol의 자연발화 온도는 각각 $547^{\circ}C,\;463^{\circ}C,\;557^{\circ}C,\;340^{\circ}C$였다. Toluene과 iso-propanol(IPA) 계의 경우는 3 : 7(Toluene :IPA) 비율의 혼합물 일 때는 IPA순수물질($464^{\circ}C$)보다 자연발화온도가 약 $3^{\circ}C$ 낮은 혼합물의 최소자연발화온도거동 MAITB(Minimum Autoignition Temperature Behavior)을 보였다.

The knowledge of the flash point of the various liquid substances is required because of process safety and control in industrial fire protection. The epoxy resin is one of versatile resins that has wide selection of using curing agents and additives to achieve various applications such as coatings, adhesives, interior materials, reinforced plastics and electrical insulation. In this study, the lower flash points for p-xylene+epoxy resin, o-xylene+epoxy resin and n-butanol+epoxy resin systems were measured by using Pensky-Martens closed cup tester. The lower flash points for p-xylene+epoxy resin, o-xylene+epoxy resin and n-butanol+epoxy resin systems rapidly increased 80wt%, 90wt% and 95wt% of epoxy resin concentration, respectively. This results serve as a guide to estimate flash point of any epoxy resin solution.

Background: Painters in the automotive sector are routinely exposed to volatile organic solvents, and the levels vary depending on the occupational health and safety controls enforced at the companies. This study investigates the levels of exposure to organic vapors and the existence of controls in the formal economy sector in southern Colombia. Methods: This is an exploratory study of an observational and descriptive character. An analysis of solvents is conducted via the personal sampling of painters and the analysis of samples using the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health 1501 method. The amount of solvents analyzed varied according to the budget allocated by the companies. The person in charge of the occupational safety and health management system was interviewed to learn about the exposure controls implemented at the companies. Results: A medium exposure risk for toluene was found in one company. Another presented medium risk for carbon tetrachloride, xylene, ethylbenzene, and n-butanol. The others showed low risk of exposure and that the controls implemented were not sufficient or efficient. Conclusion: These results shed light on the working conditions of these tradespeople. The permissible limits established by Colombian regulations for the evaluated chemical contaminants were not exceeded. However, there were contaminants that exceeded the limits of action. The analysis of findings made it possible to propose improvements in occupational safety and health management systems to allow the optimization of working conditions for painters, prevent the occurrence of occupational diseases, and reduce costs to the country's health system.

Building and furnishing materials and consumer product are important sources of volatile organic compounds(VOCs) and other aldehydes in the indoor environment. Some available evidence indicates that VOCs can cause adverse health effects to the building occupants and contribute to some of the symptoms of what we call, 'Sick House Syndrome' in Korea. The aims of this study were to evaluate the efficiency of emission system and to investigate comparison of the emission characteristics of different building materials such as wall-papers, paints, and adhesives. The emission of VOCs from building materials were determined in the small chambers defining the temperature, relative humidity, and ventilation rate in this study. VOCs were sampled for 20 minutes using Tenax-TA tubes and analysed by GC-MS with thermal desorption. The stability of conditions for temperature and relative humidity in this small chamber system showed that the fluctuation of temperature was between 25.4$\pm$0.3$^{\circ}C$ and that of relative humidity was 50.2$\pm$0.6$\%$ under the airflow rate of 167 mL/min. The emission tests from building materials resulted in TVOC emission rates of 0.011 $\~$ 3.108 mg/m$^{2}$h after 7 days. The general wall-papers emitted toluene abundantly and the natural wall-papers mainly emitted n-butanol and a minor amount of alkanes compound such as n -tetradecane. The remainder consisted of toluene, m,p -xylene, and styrene. The paints mainly emitted toluene and the adhesives mainly emitted chloroform as well as toluene. As a result, this study is expected to suggest meaningful data for future studies in exposure control through selecting healthy building materials and for the establishment of guidelines for various building materials in Korea.
