The indoor air quality in public facilities has been well maintained as consciousness of facility owners is improved.However, the risk of PM2.5 and heavy metals in particulate matters have not been highlighted until now. So weinvestigated the particulate matters on major public transportation facilities such as subway, port and bus terminals.And we tried to figure out the characteristics of each facility groups by comparing the mass and metal concentrationbetween PM2.5 and PM10. As a results, the correlation between concentration of indoor particulate matters andthat of outdoor particulate matters shows higher strength in the case of bus terminals and port platforms thansubway platforms. However the total concentration of particulate matters and heavy metals were much higher insubway platforms than that of terminals and port platforms.

This study was conducted to find an odor reducible solution in Hwayang agricultural industrial complex. Civilcomplaints have lasted because of odor caused by recycled plastic producers. In order to understand the emissioncharacteristic and concentration of key odor components, we investigated the complex odor and 17 odorcompounds at 3 sites of five chemical facilities from march to october 2013. The results of complex odor showed8~12 at a boundary of 5 facilities. The results of complex odor showed 6694, 3000, 1442 at an emission (stack)of 3 facilities, which exceeded the emission standard. The highest compound and its concentration of each sitewas different because each facility has different processes and use different raw materials. We suggested thesuitable prevention facility for each company to reduce odor. We analyzed the odor contribution with the emission(stack) point of S, I, B and the inside point of W, J. S plant was Acetaldehyde (45%), I plant was Trimethylamine(32%), B plant was Styrene (35%), W plant was Hydrogen sulfide (42%), J plant was Hydrogen sulfide(41%).An objective of study is odor management area and will apply odor strict emission standards. A suitable preventionfacility should be operated efficiently based on survey data to reduce odor.

This study was conducted to analyze dust mite allergen and bacterial endotoxin concentrations in the subwaycabins. For this aim, we sampled dust using a vacuum cleaner on cabin seats of subway trains operating in threeSeoul Metro Lines from April to May in 2011. The concentration of dust mite allergen and endotoxin were1,137.51±806.26ng/g and 5,742.1(4.68)EU/g, respectively. While, the concentration of dust mite allergen washigher on cabin seats of subway trains in Line B(1,487.61±930.59ng/g) than on those of trains in Lines A andC(641.9±398.3 and 1,344.9±822.4ng/g). All measurements did not exceed the National Workshop Guidelineof 2,000ng/g. While, bacterial endotoxin concentration [GM (GSD)] was higher on cabin seats of subway trainsin Line A [12,373.21(4.97EU/g)] than on those of trains in Line B and C8,520.77(3.98) and 1,631.43(1.88)EU/g. Dust mite allergen concentrations were strongly influenced by the portion of underground (on the subway line)and endotoxin concentrations were significantly correlated with the number of passengers using the subway lines.Seats for seniors and the week showed relatively higher concentrations compared to seats for general passengers.But, no significant difference of dust mite allergen and endotoxin concentrations in the subway cabins was foundrelating to seat type (p=0.451, p=0.564). There was no correlation between the dust mite allergen levels andendotoxin levels in the subway cabins (p=0.439).

In this study, the odor causing in the under-fired charbroiling restaurant was reported in literature investigation,pilot test and field experimental verification. The charbroiling restaurant causes odor complaints of Neighbors soefficient reduction method is requested. Acetaldehyde, ammonia, sulfur compound and the oil mist of white smokeare found to cause odor from the charbroiling restaurant. Pilot test results show that in the removal efficiency ofodor, Electrostatic Precipitation was 67.4%, absorption was 81.2%, adsorption was 74.2% and the ElectrostaticPrecipitation & Adsorption the hybrid system with 85.7% respectively. In the same condition of the hybrid system(Electrostatic Precipitation & Adsorption), the odor removal efficiency were higher when the design parameterssuch as the discharge voltage and current were high. The process efficiency were higher when as the implanterpole was cylindrical. However, the process efficiency rapidly reduced due to the contamination of the processcomponent or material, as the operating time of the equipment is increased. Therefore, fixed maintenance and repairof the equipment is found to be are very important, for long term operation. Therefore, as the experimental resultof this study, applying hybrid system removed odors caused in under-fired charbroiling restaurant which areunregulated, is more effective device that settle civil complaints and preserve environment.

We investigated the distribution of asbestos in Seoul for 16 school buildings built before and after 1990, includingkindergartens, elementary schools, middle schools and high schools. The risk assessment standards of AHERA,HSE and ASTM were reviewed and a comparative analysis of assessment standards was conducted in schoolbuildings. For the risk assessment of 16 schools, 170 samples were selected, each of which was assessed usingstandards of AHERA, HSE and ASTM. The school buildings included the ACM (asbestos containing materials)ranged 3-4% of chrysotile and 1-3% of amosite in classroom ceilings and has 7-8% chrysotile in partitions of studenttoilets. The airborne concentrations of fiber materials were ranged with 0.002-0.022 fiber/cc in school buildingsby PCM. In this study, a simplified rating scale was used three categories of Good, Damaged and SignificantlyDamaged. In the result of comparative analysis for the risk assessment criteria, it was found that 113 samples, 132samples and 82 samples were classified as Good when assessed by AHERA, HSE and ASTM, respectively; and46 samples, 29 samples and 53 samples as Damaged, respectively; and 12 samples, 8 samples and 34 samples asSignificantly Damaged, respectively. From the distribution of asbestos and the comparative analysis for the riskassessment criteria, the management plan and new risk assessment were made based on the Korea backgroundshould be established to control asbestos exposure to students from damaged ACM and will be revealed that theassessment for the current condition and potential for disturbance on asbestos in school buildings.

The purpose of this study is to investigate information on performance of ventilation in high-tech microelectronicscleanrooms using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). One liquid crystal display (LCD) company was examinedfor evaluating the relationship between workplace concentration and ventilation rate efficiency by using CFDsoftware, Airpak 3.0v. Acetone concentration in cleanroom for final packing process, which is inspected LCD was40.1ppm (GSD 1.91) (n=55) as geometric mean, ranged 7.8~128.7ppm and weakly correlated with ventilationrate efficiency (R²=0.37, p<0.01). Resulting from computational fluid dynamics (CFD), acetone concentrationcan be reduced 62% when install booth type local exhaust system, the most efficient way among 10 other differentventilation methods like increasing volume of general ventilation, changing the location of workers, supply orexhaust diffusers and install downstream type local exhaust system, etc. We found that volitile organic compoundsin cleanroom can be a matter of adverse health effects and the concentration was correlated with ventilation rateefficiency. The most optimized plan to control the contaminants in solvent cleaning work in cleanroom was boothtype local exhaust system.

This study was carried out to investigate the response characteristics of a hydrogen sulfide electrochemical gassensor for several wastewater odors. At first, it was found that bubbling sampling method was superior toheadspace sampling method in terms of sensor sensitivity. High correlation between odor concentration and sensorresults was shown for two wastewater which were r=0.977 for food-waste recycling wastewater and r=0.997for food industry wastewater. On the other hand, no correlation (r=0.258) was found for plating wastewater,because hydrogen sulfide was not the main odorant for that.

Atmospheric stability is an important parameter which effects pollutant dispersion in the atmospheric boundary layer.The objective of this paper was to verify the effect of stability conditions on odor dispersion downwind from anarea source using computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modeling. The FLUENT Realizable k-ε model was used tosimulate odor dispersion as released by an odor source. A total of 3 simulations demonstrated the effects of unstable,neutral, and stable atmospheric conditions. Unstable atmospheric stability conditions produced a shorter odor plumelength compared with neutral and stable conditions because of stronger convective effects. Like other studies,unstable atmospheric condition produced higher plume height compared with neutral and stable conditions.

In order to evaluate the quality of indoor air due to the remodeling and newly-built in S City, 60 schools wereinvestigated in formaldehyde (HCHO) and total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs). One school exceeded thenational standard of formaldehyde 100µg/m³ at 1st measurement. Thirty-eight schools showed higher level ofTVOCs over 400µg/m³ at 1st measurement. Twelve schools showed higher level of TVOCs over 400µg/m³ at2nd measurement. This result derived from TVOCs which originated from the building materials and finishingmaterials. To prevent the pollution of indoor air quality at schools caused by formaldehyde and TVOCs, therecommendation of environmentally-friendly building materials, the diminishment of emission by bakeout process,the efficient combination of natural ventilation and mechanical ventilation, and antibacterial effect of chemicalcontrol measures as photo-catalysts should be given positive investigation.
