Abstract

Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) samples were collected separately in mainstream and side-stream smoke using a self-designed smoking machine, and a total 40 of PM2.5 was collected with low volume air sampler at indoor environments with and without ETS in Daejeon, Korea. About 20 trace elements including toxic metals like As, Cr, Mn, Se, V, and Zn were determined in PM2.5 and ETS samples by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). It is found that the emission factors of K, Cl, Na, and Al were much higher than those of toxic elements for both mainstream and side-stream smoke. The average concentration of PM2.5 was enriched by 1.5 times at smoking area ($58.7{\pm}18.1{\mu}g/m^3$) than at smoking free area ($38.6{\pm}12.7{\mu}g/m^3$). The concentration ratio of each element between smoking and smoking free area were ranged from 1.1 to 6.0 except Cu (1.0); especially, Ce (6.0), La (5.2), K (2.3), and Co (2.0) showed higher ratio, which suggests that the ETS is one of the possible increasing factors of PM2.5 and elemental concentration at indoor environment.

본 연구는 흡연기작을 모사한 시료채취장비를 이용하여 환경담배연기를 주류연기와 비주류연기로 구분하여 채취하고, 환경담배연기 중의 미량원소성분을 중성자방사화분석을 이용하여 분석하였다. 또한, 실내공기 중 PM2.5를 집중적으로 채취하고 인체 영향이 큰 As, Cr, Mn, Se, V, Zn를 비롯한 약 20종의 미량원소를 분석하여 그 화학적 특성을 파악하며 환경담배연기가 실내공기질에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 하였다. 담배개피 당 미량원소 발생량은 Cl, K, Na 등을 제외한 대부분의 원소에서 비주류연기에서 더 높게 나타났고, K, Cl, Na, Al의 발생량은 개피 당 $1{\mu}g$ 이상으로 가장 많았고, Br, Fe, Zn도 높은 배출량을 보여 외부오염원과 독립적으로 실내 환경에서의 Br, Cl, Fe, K, Zn의 농도 증가에 환경담배연기가 기여하는 것으로 판단된다. PM2.5의 농도는 흡연 사무실은 $58.7{\pm}18.1{\mu}g/m^3$인 반면, 비흡연 사무실은 $38.6{\pm}12.7{\mu}g/m^3$를 보여 ETS에 의해 흡연 사무실에서 1.5배 정도 높게 나타났고, 미량원소의 농도비는 Cu (1.0)를 제외한 모든 원소에서 농도비의 평균값이 1.1~6.0으로 흡연 사무실의 원소 농도가 비흡연 사무실의 원소 농도보다 높게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 환경담배연기가 실내 공기 중 PM2.5와 미량원소의 농도 증가의 한 원인인 것을 보여주고 있다.
