Efficiency of Removal for Indoor Air Pollutants by Air Cleaner in Residential Indoor Environment with Stochastic Simulation

Abstracts
We estimated decreasing rate of indoor air pollutants with are airborne bacteria, airborne fungi, formaldehyde, total volatile organic compounds, PM10, and PM2.5 in 10 childrens hospitals and 6 childbirth houses located in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do from November to December in 2012. Sectional period was respectively divided for operating and non-operating the air cleaners. There was a trend that concentration of surveyed pollutants in childrens hospitals and childbirth houses during operating period decreased among indoor air. We used Monte-Calro simulation to remove uncertainty and identify efficiency of eliminated pollutants such as surveyed pollutants by the air cleaners. Average efficiency of removal were 61.3921.42% for airborne bacteria, 71.7719.65% for airborne fungi, 73.3724.62% for formaldehyde, 71.2025.96% for total volatile organic compounds, 65.1623.80% for PM10, and 71.0623.97% for PM2.5.
