Abstract

Since the air contamination by air pollutants from indoor construction materials and daily supplies has been increased in recent decades, the public interest of using environmentally friendly products and improving indoor air quality also attracted much attention. As known as effects of phytoncide, it has been used in construction materials and daily supplies with various method. In this study, hinoki cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa) was used because of its high contents of phytoncide. The leaves of hinoki cypress (C. obtusa), which generated by pruning, were extracted by steam distillation, and then used as humidification water source. Volatile organic compound (VOC) from C. obtusa were characterized by GC-MS (Gas chromatograph-Mass spectrophotometry) in order to evaluate effects and risks of using C. obtusa extracts. Total 86 types and 116 types of VOC were detected from distilled water (DI water) and C. obtusa extracts, respectively. Aromatic compounds (DI water: 13 types, 53%; C. obtusa extracts: 13 types, 38%) and terpenoids (DI water: 16 types, 23%; C. obtusa extracts: 23 types, 33%) were detected more diverse types and higher amount than other compound categories. No additional aromatic compounds were found from C. obtusa extracts, so C. obtusa extracts did not affect on aromatic compounds emission. However, in terpenoids, total amount of emission from C. obtusa extracts increased to 33% from 23% (DI water) and 7 more types of compounds were found from C. obtusa extracts. Especially, from C. obtusa extracts, terpinen-4-ol was emitted 71 times higher than DI water. During the humidification with C. obtusa extracts, emitted terpenoid compounds were well known for higher anti-bacterial, anti-insect, and anti-septic functions, but also these had anti-hypertensive and anti-cancer activities. Therefore, terpenoids from C. obtusa extracts can help to improve public health by using humidifier.

건축재료와 생활용품으로부터 방출되는 실내공기 오염물질들로 인한 피해가 증가하고 있는 현시점에서 친환경 제품에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 이러한 관심 속에 피톤치드에 대한 효능이 알려지면서 다양한 방법으로 사용되고 있다. 피톤치드를 다량 함유한 편백잎 증류추출수의 가습시 발생하는 휘발성유기화합물의 방출특성을 GC-MS를 이용하여 그 효과를 조사하였다. 편백잎추출수 가습시 115종의 화합물이 검출되었다. 검출된 화합물들은 aromatic compound, terpenoid, alkane, ketone, ester, aldehyde, alcohol, acid, miscellaneous compound류로 분류하였으며 aromatic compound류(13종, 38%)와 terpenoid류(23종, 33%) 화합물이 다른 화합물류에 비해 높은 비율로 검출되었다. Aromatic compound류 경우 편백잎추출수에 의한 추가 화합물은 검출되지 않아 그 영향이 없는 것으로 판단되며, terpenoid류 경우 편백잎추출수 가습시 10% 정도 증가하였고 7종의 화합물이 추가로 검출되었다. 편백잎추출수 가습시 방출된 terpenoid류 화합물들은 항균, 방충, 방부 효력뿐만 아니라 항고혈압성과 항암에 효과가 있는 것으로 알려져 있어 건강에 도움을 줄 것으로 판단된다.
