초록

목적: 본 연구에서는 신축사무실 건물 및 재실자를 대상으로 식물적용에 따른 안구건조 증상 및 실내공기질 등에대한 변화를 평가하고자 하였다. 방법: 세종시 정부청사 신축건물 및 사무실 재실자를 대상으로 하였다. 식물적용에따라 실내공기질을 측정하였으며, 휘발성유기화합물류와 알데하이드류 및 온·습도를 측정하여 평가하였다. 안구건조증상은 Ocular surface disease index(OSDI)를 이용하여 정상, 경도, 중등도, 및 중증으로 분류하여 측정하였다. 결과: 식물적용사무실에서 휘발성유기화합물류의 감소율이 다소 높게 나타나 식물적용으로 인한 저감효과가 있는 것으로조사되었다. 식물적용 재실자에서 새건물증후군 증상 점수가 점차적으로 감소하였고, 식물미적용사무실 재실자에서는 새건물증후군 증상 점수가 상승하였다. 재실자의 안구건조설문결과에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 관찰되지 않았다. 결론: 식물적용 사무실 내 유해물질의 감소효과가 있었고, 재실자를 통한 설문조사결과 안구건조 및 새건물증후군 증상에 긍정적인 효과는 있었다. 개인의 민감도 등에 의한 차이 및 현장조사로 인한 연구의 제한점 등을 보완한 장기 연구가 필요하다.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate relationship between worker's ophthalmoxerosis symptom and IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) variation after planting indoor plants at newly-built office building. Methods: We selected a new office building located in Sejong-si and occupants who work in the Office for study. The indoor air pollutant was investigated according to applying indoor plants. The indoor air quality of the new building was evaluated by measuring volatile organic compounds (VOCs), aldehydes, temperature and humidity. The level of dry eye symptoms was classified into normal, mild, moderate and severe by using the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI). Results: There was VOCs' reduction effect according to placing indoor plants because the concentration of VOCs in newly-built government office (Sejong-si) was highly decreased when the indoor plants was placed at the office. The occupants' SBS (Sick Building Syndrome) symptoms score was gradually decreased in accordance with applying indoor plants. However, SBS symptoms score was increased when the office was not applied indoor plants. There was not statistical significance in workers' dry eye questionnaire results. Conclusions: There was reduction effect of indoor air pollutant in applied indoor plants office. Also, in case of questionnaire results of ophthalmoxerosis and SBS (Sick Building Syndrome) symptoms score were showed positive effect. This study is needed longer-term study because of complements of difference of individual sensitivity and there are some limitations due to field survey research.
