Abstract

The badge-type diffusive sampler for the measurement of formaldehyde in indoor air using three types of colorimetric methods such as chromotrophic acid(CTA), 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone(MBTH), and 4-amino-3-hydrazino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole(AHMT) method. The washing of the collection filter with several cleaning solution was effected with satisfactory results, regardless of the types of cleaning solutions. The concentrations of absorbance solution in each colorimetric method were experimentally determined by considering the sampling rates. The variation blank values in each colorimetric method was below 15%. As compared with CTA and AHMT methods, the reproducibility of MBTH method was excellent and was below 10% relative standard deviation. The collected formaldehyde mass and time-weighted concentration had a good correlation (correlation coefficient > 0.93). The limit of detection and limit of quantitation, and minimum sampling time were closely correlated to the sampling rates for the measurement of formaldehyde in each method.

본 연구에서는 실내공기 중 포름알데히드를 측정하기 위해 세 가지 다른 반응의 흡광광도법(비색분석)을 응용한 뱃지형 확산측정기를 평가하였다. 흡수여지의 세척방법을 비교한 결과 사용된 세척용액의 종류에 관계없이 세척하지 않은 경우 보다 양호한 세척효과가 나타났다. 각 측정방법에서 사용될 흡수액의 농도는 시료채취율을 기준으로 정하였다. 평가된 공시험 값은 측정방법별로 15% 이내의 편차를 가진 것으로 나타나 대체적으로 안정적인 것으로 나타났다. 확산측정기의 재현성은 MBTH법이 상대표준편차 10% 이내로 가장 양호하며, 채취된 포름알데히드 양과 시간가중평균농도와의 상관관계는 세 가지 측정방법 모두 양호한 것으로 나타났다. 검출한계 및 정량한계는 시료채취율이 가장 좋은 MBTH법이 다른 측정방법과 비교하여 가장 낮게 나타나 시료채취율이 가장 크고 정량한계가 낮은 측정방법일수록 포름알데히드 측정에 요구되는 측정시간이 감소되는 것으로 나타났다.
