In this study, we evaluated the filtering effect of the fine dust mask. Our objective research has secured credibility in the private sector. The performance of domestic fine dust masks is evaluated by three dust collection efficiencies, inspiratory resistance, and leakage rate according to KF grade in the health mask standard guidelines issued by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. Based on this, eight types of fine dust masks were evaluated for dust collection efficiency and face intake resistance. All masks showed good performance as the collection efficiency was 90%. The higher the KF grade, the higher the collection efficiency, but the inspiratory resistance had no correlation with the grade. According to the manufacturer's operation method, masks below the standard value may be distributed. Masks that are currently on the market have shown results that can be trusted. However, we hope that the system will be improved to validate whether the masks that meet the threshold are still being distributed.

The purpose of this study is to investigate and compare the change of wind velocity and processing efficiency of sulfuric compounds and more complex odors. The research was conducted in a facility specializing in odor prevention applications using upgraded existing research equipment (from 30 CMM to 200 CMM) on wastewater treatment. The research equipment was installed with the purpose of removing odor from the wastewater treatment (Pasteur Factory) located in Hoengseong-gun, GangWon. To investigate the treatment efficiency of hydrogen sulfide test samples were evaluated with different blower installation positions and changes in wind speed. The wind speed at the static pressure is about 1.70~2.08 times faster than that of the static pressure, although the blower power is different. The efficacy of sulfur compounds and complex odor treatment was 91.27% and 95.20%, respectively. The study results show that it is necessary to review the design point of wind speed due to the increase in facility scale. In addition, considering the characteristics of complex odor, it is necessary to consider additional surcharges. It was determined that the facility plan for odor prevention in relation to wind velocity will be reexamined. Ongoing research will also be considered to help identify any disadvantages and solutions for the ventilator positioning, which is currently installed in the back.

This study investigates ventilation and processing methods for industrial facilities by analyzing the distribution chart and concentration of fine particles generated. Analyses of fine particles were conducted in crushing rooms, sorting room, Primary manufacturing room and packing room, where the concentration of 0.3~10.0 μm particles were measured for 10 minutes during processing of herb medicines. The result revealed that particles with sizes greater than or equal to PM2.685 took up most of the space, and the concentration of fine particles (PM10) was 1,672.24 μg/m3 in 1th crushing room, 3,144.7 μg/m3 in crushing 2nd room, 262.45 μg/m3 in sorting room, prior to processing (2,302.3 μg/m3 for Aralia continentails and 5,564.9 μg/m3 for Poria cocos), 4,656.5 μg/m3 in Primary manufacturing room, and 20,213.3 μg/m3 in packing room. The concentration of fine particles generated during manufacture of herb medicines was, in comparison to the standard of 150 μg/m3 established in the Indoor Air Quality Control Act, 1.7 to 135 times higher. High concentrations of fine particles were found in all rooms, except for packing, even with partial ventilation. Also, it can be inferred that adequate deodorization system may be required in order to control unpleasant herb odors. Through this study, it is recommended that the use of scrubbers and concealment may facilitate control of fine particles containment.

The purpose of this study is to confirm the removal effect of odorous gas through the multi process. The combination of Scrubber, UV and Adsorption was analyzed using the odor gas of reservoir. Analysis was carried out for six times in total and collection was made once per each process. Sampling was performed in the afternoon during August (1:00 pm~4:00 pm). Multi process has been designed to facilitates the accessories exchange. The advantage is that it facilitates the replacement of the activated carbon and it is convenient to change the type of chemical according to the type of pollution materials. As a result, for odor gas removal efficiency, ammonia 91.8%, trimethylamine 72.0%, hydrogen sulfide 99.9%, methyl mercaptan 99.9% were removed respectively. Removal efficiency of the process is the scrubber (alkali), activated carbon adsorption, scrubber (acid) and UV procedure from the highest order. Further studies on the operating method and efficiency of multi process by the change of wind speed and chemical are recommended.

We studied the changes in the concentration of total volatile organic compounds generated in newly-built schools (five kindergarten schools, two primary schools, three middle schools, one high school) by the bake-out. Samples were collected in classrooms. By using the bake-out technique the removal efficiency of total volatile organic compounds was 89.1%(maximum) and 27.5%(minimum). By using this bake-out technique the removal efficiency was 42.5% greater than the ventilation method. Therefore, we determined that it is appropriate to apply both the bake-out and ventilation methods in the case of newly-built schools

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.

본 연구에서는 악취숙련도 시험을 위한 PTM 물질로 현장시료의 적용가능성을 평가하기 위하여 하수처리장에 채취한 현장시료의 안정성과 채취 균질성을 조사하였다. 또한 현장시료를 PTM으로 사용하여 71개 악취검사기관의 공기희석관능법의 숙련도 시험을 실시하였다. 다양한 설정값(참여기관 또는 기준기관의 악취지수 평균값이나 중위수)를 기준으로 3가지 Z-score 평가법(표준편차 이용한 Z-score, Robust 표준편차를 이용한 Z-score, 목표표준편차를 이용한 Z-score)으로 숙련도의 통계적 분석을 하였다. 하수처리장 농축조에서 채취한 현장시료는 2일 동안 희석배수의 변화 없이 안정적이었고, 참여기관을 4 그룹으로 나누어 순차적으로 채취한 현장시료가 균질한 것으로 평가되었다. 이는 현장악취시료가 악취 숙련도 평가를 위한 PTM 물질로 적용 가능함을 의미한다. 숙련도 시험결과의 통계적 분석을 통해 참여기관의 숙련도 만족비율은 Z-score 평가법이나 설정값의 기준(참여기관 또는 참고기관으로 선택한 3개 대학의 악취지수 평균값이나 중위수) 보다는 목표표준편차(S*ref)값에 의존하였다. 숙련도 만족비율은 S*ref 값이 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며, PTM 시료의 분석결과에 대한 변동계수(CV) 0.13에 해당하는 목표표준편차값에서 숙련도 만족비율은 약 93∼96% 수준이었다.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to apply a cost effective ultrasonic odor reduction method that generated micro-bubbles using ejector to the Southeast Asian wastewater market. Research design, data, and methodology - A leather maker located in Ansan-city, Gyunggi-do, South Korea was sampled from the collection tank to select experimental materials. Experimental setup consisted of circulating water tank-air ejector-ultrasonic device, and circulating wastewater. Sample analysis was performed by CODcr, T-N, T-P, and turbidity by the National Environmental Science Institute. Results - Experimental results show that it is most effective in removing odors when the frequency range of ultrasonic wave is 60∼80 Khz and the output is 200 W. It showed that the concentration of complex odor dropped from a maximum of 14,422 times to a minimum of 120 times. Also, analysis of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide in specific odor substances has shown that they were reduced from 1.5 ppm to 0.4 ppm and from 0.6 ppm to 0.1 ppm, respectively. Conclusions - It is possible to shorten more than 12 hours in the treatment of micro-organisms. It can be seen that the processing time of odor after ultrasonic treatment in the pre-treatment facility is reduced by 25% when compared to the resultant micro-organisms after the chemical treatment, that is, the time of the bio-treatment of micro-organisms. Based on the results, it was confirmed that the pre-treatment method using the ultrasonic and the air ejector device of the experiment shows the effect of reducing the water pollutants and odor more effectively in a relatively short time than the conventional advanced oxidation method.
