Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the indoor air quality of medical institutions and to present the detailed management plan by analyzing the actual situation of management and analyzing the difference according to the place in a convergent. ($PM_{10}$), carbon dioxide ($CO_2$), formaldehyde (HCHO), total aerobic bacteria (TAB) and carbon monoxide (CO) were investigated in 153 hospitals in Busan. As a result, The overall output average did not exceed the maintenance criteria, but the maximum values for each item were 91% for $PM_{10}$, 97% for $CO_2$, 96% for HCHO, and 99% for bioaesol. And It is confirmed that this is very close to the standard. In addition, the results of each place showed different values according to each feature, but there was no significant difference in the results of five measurements. In conclusion, Indoor air in medical institution considering the characteristics should be performed systematic and detailed management of ventilation facilities and energy problems.

본 연구는 다중이용시설등의 실내공기질 관리법에 의해 시행되고 있는 의료기관의 실내공기질을 조사하여 관리실태를 파악하고 장소에 따라 나타나는 차이를 융합적으로 분석하여 세부적 관리방안을 제시하기 위한 목적으로 실시하였다. 부산광역시에 소재하는 의료기관 153개를 대상으로 직접 방문조사하여 미세먼지($PM_{10}$), 이산화탄소($CO_2$), 포름알데하이드(HCHO), 총부유세균(TAB), 일산화탄소(CO)를 조사하였다. 연구결과를 살펴보면, 전체적 산출평균은 유지기준을 초과하지 않았으나, 항목별 최대값은 $PM_{10}$이 91%, $CO_2$가 97%, HCHO가 96%, TAB가 99%에 해당하여 기준에 매우 근접하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 유동인구와 관련하여 측정 장소를 다르게 하여 측정한 결과는 각 특징에 따라 서로 다른 값을 보였다. $PM_{10}$은 로비에서 $61.80{\pm}9.66{\mu}g/m^2$, $CO_2$는 복도에서 $632.08{\pm}112.86ppm$으로 가장 높게 나타났다. 반면, HCHO는 입원실이 $21.88{\pm}17.03{\mu}g/m^2$으로 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. TAB와 CO는 복도에서 각각 $634.08{\pm}46.41 CFU/m^2$와 $0.81{\pm}0.66ppm$으로 가장 높았다. 5곳의 측정결과 유의한 차이는 없었다. 결과적으로 의료기관 실내공기는 불특정 다수인들이 수시로 출입가능하며 환자들이 주로 생활하는 시설적 특징을 충분히 고려하여 보다 세밀하고 체계적인 관리가 이루어져야 한다.
