化学物質による室内空気汚染データベースシステムの設計に関する研究

抄録

Many measurements were conducted to grasp actual status of indoor air pollution by chemicals in residential buildings according to the increased awareness of so-called "Sick House Syndrome", or SBS in houses. But most of the data obtained by such measurements were usually discarded or locked up in the files of health center after checking the compliance to the guidelines defined by the Ministry of health, Labor and Welfare. We have therefore proposed a new database systems, called AFoDAS (Automated Formaldehyde Data Acquisition System) and AVODAS (Automated VOC Data Acquisition System), which can build-up such data mentioned above since the number of such data would be enormous and the data will be accumulated by themselves. However there are lots of problems which should be overcome. As the first step of solving these problems, we made an attempt to build the above-mentioned database systems on the internet, and input the data obtained from the measurements conducted, in advance, in more than 1,000 houses with the cooperation of the regional health centers all over Japan. We also made questionaire survey about the database to staffs of thc health centers who cooperated with us. Surveyed results show that expectations of the health center staffs to the database were far beyond our anticipation. We must therefore provide more useful contents in order to respond their expectations. The data base systems will be open to the general public later after overcoming the matters emerged through the surreys.
