PURPOSES : Over the years, the concentration of fine dust is gradually increasing, thereby aggravating the seriousness of the situation. Accordingly, this study intends to install a clean road system using low impact development (LID) techniques on the roadside in order to reduce the scattering of dust on roads effectively. This system stores rainwater collected through gutters in rainy weather and sprays water onto the pavement surface to reduce the scattering of road dust. METHODS : The developed clean road system consists of a water tank, controller, rain detection sensor, and solar cell. Based on this, a test-bed construction was used to evaluate its applicability. By applying the developed system, actual applicability was evaluated through total suspended solid (TSS) test and fine dust measurement. TSS test was conducted to measure the reduction rate of scattering dust on the road owing to the water injected by the clean road system. A spray nozzle was used for the TSS test, and a nebulization nozzle was used for the measurement of fine dust. In order to increase the reliability of the test, three measurements were taken each, for normal road as well as unfavorable conditions road that reproduced the construction site. RESULTS : In this study, fine dust concentration measurement and TSS test were conducted to evaluate the practical applicability of the developed clean road system. From the TSS test, it was found that for both general roads and roads depicting bad conditions, the TSS value after the first spray was the highest, and the value after the second spray was sharply reduced, such that most of the re-dispersed dust was washed out after the first spray, and similar TSS value results were obtained after the third spray. Based on this result, the result of fine dust measurement showed similar fine dust reduction effect of 9%-15.9% regardless of the concentration of fine dust in the atmosphere. These results indicate that the concentration of fine dust in the atmosphere does not significantly affect of the degree of reduction in fine dust. CONCLUSIONS : In this study, a clean road system for reducing fine dust on the road was developed and its applicability was evaluated. In a future study, we intend to check the performance of the drainage pavement through performance evaluation of water permeability coefficient test and performance test in the form of drainage pavement. Through this, we intend to evaluate the applicability of the clean road system to which drainage pavement is applied. Moreover, we will develop a clean road system that applies drainage packaging, and analyzes the degree of fine dust reduction according to the spray angle, spray amount, and spray time of the clean road system in order to study the spray system with the optimum amount of fine dust reduction. In addition, in order to reduce fine dust in the winter, when fine dust is mainly generated, it is planned to install heating wires in spray pipes where freezing is expected. Lastly, the black ice prevention effect will be analyzed by mixing a certain amount of sodium chloride when spraying water.

최근 정부의 미세먼지 특별법이 발효됨에 따라 비상저감조치 시행시 건설현장 및 공장 작업시간을 조정 및 단축하도록 권고하고 있지만 정량적인 기준 및 저감기술 부재로 인해 기업의 자발적 참여를 유도하는 수밖에 없는 실정이다. 또한 최근 도로포장 재료생산 플랜트에서 발생하는 비산먼지 및 유해가스로 인한 피해사례가 다수 발생하고 있으며 이로 인한 공장 주변 주민들과의 갈등이 심각한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내외 도로포장 관련 비산먼지 발생현황 및 관련법에 대한 조사를 수행하고, 도로포장 전주기(생산-시공-운영)에서의 단계별 발생량 조사를 통해 각 단계에 적합한 비산먼지 저감기술 개발 및 적용방안을 제시하고자 한다.

현재 (초)미세먼지의 주요 발생 원인이 되고 있는 질소화합물(NOx) 및 PM10, PM2.5 미세먼지 입자 제거를 위해 화물차를 비롯한 경유차에 대한 다양한 규제와 정책이 추진되고 있으나 가시적인 개선 효과가 나타나지 않아 근본적인 대책이 필요한 실정이다. 이에 관한 대책으로서 국내에서는 도로 물청소, 분진흡입, 노후 경유차 대도시 운행 제한 등을 시행하고 있으나 구체적인 저감효과에는 한계가 있어 능동적인 대응 방안을 마련이 시급한 실정이다. 또한, 도심부 도로에서 발생하는 미세먼지는 도로변을 걷는 보행자와 차량 운전자의 건강에 직접적인 영향을 주는 심각한 환경문제로 대두됨에 따라 도로변 미세먼지 저감 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 따라서, 이 연구에서는 기능성 건설재료를 활용하여 도로변 미세먼지 저감 기술 개발에 관한 실증 방안을 제시하고자 한다.
