Abstracts
An elementary school is a significant facility for educating and cultivating children and it is where they spend
most of their days. The purpose of this study is to conduct an analysis on PM10 and TBC concentrations in 110
elementary schools in Suwon. We investigated 110 elementary schools from March 2011 to December in 2012.
The mean concentration of PM10 and TBC were 51.3 18.0 g/m3(GM: 47.9 g/m3) and 311.0 125.3 CFU/m3
(GM:293.3 CFU/m3), respectively. All measurement concentrations did not exceed the Ministry of Education IAQ
guidelines. Also, the concentrations of PM10 and TBC were not affected by various conditions such as Outdoor
PM10, school construction year, class student number, temperature(oC) and humidity(%). The results of the study
suggest that management of the IAQ plan in elementary schools should be implemented through Daily-Pattern
and Activity-Pattern analysis for assessment of IAQ.
