Abstract

In this study, the harmful factors measured in S university's central library were divided into ① air harmful substance ② biological harmful factors ③ carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide concentration, measured and analyzed compared to the relevant criteria. The analysis showed that the harmful substances in the air - fine dust, asbestos, volatile organic compounds and formaldehyde - were all lower than the relevant standards, and that biological harmful factors such as fungi in the air, gramophageal bacteria, and endotoxin were also found to have no particular problems. The concentration of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide in the air was also maintained without any unusual factors compared to the concentration in the ordinary atmosphere. However, the library is a multi-use facility that needs regular cleaning and ventilation to manage the environment.

본 연구에서는 S대학 중앙도서관을 대상으로 측정 유해인자를 ① 공기 중 유해물질 ② 생물학적 유해인자 ③ 일산화탄소·이산화탄소·이산화질소 농도로 구분하여 관련 기준과 비교하여 측정·분석하였다. 분석한 결과 공기 중 유해물질인 미세먼지, 석면, 휘발성 유기화합물, 포름알데히드 모두 관련 기준 보다 낮은 수준으로 나타났으며, 생물학적 유해인자인 공기 중 곰팡이, 그람음성박테리아, 엔도톡신 등도 특별한 문제를 찾을 수 없었다. 공기 중 일산화탄소, 이산화탄소, 이산화질소 농도도 일반 대기 중의 농도 대비 특이한 점이 없이 유지되고 있었다. 다만, 도서관은 다중이용시설로 주기적인 청소와 환기를 통한 환경 관리가 필요한 것으로 나타났다.
