Abstract

|
|
This study was carried out to investigate and analyze TSP of the PC rooms. The concentration of the total suspended particulate and heavy metals contained in the total suspended particulate of the 15 PC rooms located in one local city were measured, The statistical correlation coefficients between the total suspended particulate and factors of the indoor condition (number of fan or size of pc room, illumination), between the heavy metals and factors of the indoor condition were studied.
The results are as follows :
1. The factors of the indoor condition of the 15 PC rooms are as follows. Average illumination was 24 luxes. Average number of computers installed were 37. Average number of the fans was 7. and the size of investigated PC rooms was 139.94 ㎡.
2. The mean age of the subjects was 21.8 years old. they (51.5%) used the 15 pc rooms for fewer than 2 hours per one day.
3. The mean concentration of total suspended particulate(TSP) is lower in the evening {139.085 (2.462) ㎍/㎥} than the night {166.216( 2.609) ㎍/㎥}.
4. The mean concentration of total suspended particulate was industrial work area> residential area> commercial area.
5. The distribution of heavy metals were indicated as Zn> Cr> Pb> Cd in the indoor air at PC rooms. and the concentration rate of Zn was the highest among heavy metals. but this increase didn´t show any relationship with many factors of indoor condition (number of fan or size of pc room, lighting)
6. The concentration of TSP & heavy metals didn´t have any relationship between the factors of indoor environment (number of fans, size of pc room, lighting).
