1 17 1 (2007 ) J Korean Soc Occup Environ Hyg 2007;17(1):1-42 Assessment of door Air Quality in Commercial Office Buildings Jee Yeon Jeong 1 Byung Kyoo Lee 1 Young Gyu Phee 1 Department of Occupational Environment and Health, Yongin University 2 Occupational Safety and Health Research stitute, KOSHA Ministry of Labour Recently, concerns regarding indoor air quality in offices have continued to increase. Thirty offices in five metropolitan commercial buildings were surveyed from February to April Sampling was performed during normal business hours. Thermal comfort factors such as temperature and relative humidity, carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), formaldehyde (HCHO), respirable dust, PM were sampled and analyzed to determine the mean, standard deviation, range, and correlation for each of those parameters. The data was then compared to office as standard of Ministry of Labor, and guideline applicable to the indoor environment. The results represented that the temperature was slightly higher than the standard of American Society of Refrigerating and Air- Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), the relative humidity was lower that the standard of ASHRAE. The range of the 8-TWA concentration of CO2 was 69 ~ 786 ppm, but.% of the total thirty offices exceeded the 00 ppm as ceiling concentration. The concentration of CO was less than ppm, which was similar to that of offices in Japanese. The mean concentration of formaldehyde was 0.02 ppm, and only 2 % of total samples (19) exceeded the 0.1 ppm, standard of formaldehyde in office air. The concentration of respirable dust and PM was not exceeded the standard of those parameters, 150 /. The concentration of those parameters in the office air was statistically correlated.
