Abstract

본 연구는 환기 방식 및 교반 유무에 따른 축분 퇴비화 시스템 내 대기 및 작업 환경을 평가하기 위해 수행되었다. 측정대상 가스상 물질인 암모니아, 황화수소, 악취농도의 경우 자연환기-미교반시 2.45ppm, 19.96ppb, 15.8, 강제환기-미교반시 7.61ppmm 31.36ppb, 30.2, 자연환기-교반시5.50ppm, 14.69ppb, 46.4, 강제교화기- 교반시 30.12ppm, 39.91ppb, 205.5가 평균적으로 발생되는 것으로 분석되었다. 각 운용조건에 따른 흡입성 분진과 호흡성 분진의 평균 농도는 자연환기-미교반시 368.6<TEX>${\mu}g$</TEX>/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX>,96.0<TEX>${\mu}g$</TEX>/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX>, 강제화기-미교반시 283.9<TEX>${\mu}g$</TEX>/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX>, 119.5<TEX>${\mu}g$</TEX>/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX>, 자연환기-교반시 208.7<TEX>${\mu}g$</TEX>/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX>, 139.8<TEX>${\mu}g$</TEX>/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX>, 강제환기-교반시 209.2<TEX>${\mu}g$</TEX>/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX>, 131.7<TEX>${\mu}g$</TEX>/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX>인 것으로 조사되었다. 총 부유 박테리아와 곰팡이의 경우 자연환기-미교반시 28,673cfu/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX>, 22,507cfu/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX>, 강제환기-미교반시 7,462cfu/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX>,3,229cfu/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX>, 자연환기-교반시 19,592cfu/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX>, 26,376.29cfu/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX>, 강제환기-교반시 18,645cfu/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX>, 24,581cfu/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX>가 평균적으로 발생되는 것으로 분석되었다. 대체로 가스상 물질은 자연환기와 교반을 하지 않는 경우보다 강제환기와 교반을 하는 경우에 더 많이 발생되는 경향을 보였다. 또한 흡입성 분진과 총 부유박테리아의 경우, 자연환기-미교반시에 대체로 더 높게 발생된 반면, 호흡성 분진과 총 부유곰팡이의 경우 강제환기-교반시에 더 많이 발생되는 경향을 보였다. 내부 온도와 상대습도는 입자상 물질과 생물학상 오염물질 발생에 영향을 주는 것으로 분석되었고, 암모니아와 황화수소는 축분 퇴비화시 발생되는 악취 원인물질로 입증되었다. 물리적 요인인 온도와 상대습도는 축분 퇴비화 시스템내에서 주로 입자상 오염물질과 생물학상 오염물질의 발생량에 영향을 미치는 주요인자로 입증되었는데, 시스템 내부 온도와 상대습도가 높으면 이것들의 농도도 높아지는 것으로 분석되었다. Air quality in the livestock waste compost pilot plant at the Colligate Livestock Station was assessed to quantity the emissions of aerial contaminants and evaluate the degree of correlation between them for different operation strategies; with the ventilation types and agitation of compost pile, in this study. The parameters analyzed to reflect the level of air quality in the livestock waste compost pilot plant were the gaseous contaminants; ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and odor concentration, the particulate contaminants; inhalable dust and respirable dust, and the biological contaminants; total airborne bacteria and fungi. The mean concentrations of ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and odor concentration in the compost pilot plant without agitation were 2.45ppm, 19.96ppb, and 15.8 when it was naturally ventilated, and 7.61ppm, 31.36ppb, and 30.2 when mechanically ventilated. Those with agitation were 5.50ppm, 14.69ppb, and 46.4 when naturally ventilated, and 30.12ppm, 39.91ppb, and 205.5 when mechanically ventilated. The mean concentrations of inhalable and respirable dust in the compost pilot plant without agitation were 368.6<TEX>${\mu}g$</TEX>/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX> and 96.0<TEX>${\mu}g$</TEX>/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX> with natural ventilation, and 283.9<TEX>${\mu}g$</TEX>/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX> and 119.5<TEX>${\mu}g$</TEX>/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX> with mechanical ventilation. They were also observed with agitation to 208.7<TEX>${\mu}g$</TEX>/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX> and 139.8<TEX>${\mu}g$</TEX>/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX> with natural ventilation, and 209.2<TEX>${\mu}g$</TEX>/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX> and 131.7<TEX>${\mu}g$</TEX>/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX> with mechanical ventilation. Averaged concentrations of total airborne bacteria and fungi in the compost pilot plant without agitation were observed to 28,673cfu/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX> and 22,507cfu/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX> with natural ventilation, and 7,462cfu/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX> and 3,228cfu/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX> with mechanical ventilation. They were also observed with agitation to 19,592cfu/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX> and 26,376cfu/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX> with the natural ventilation, and 18,645cfu/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX> and 24,581cfu/<TEX>$m^3$</TEX> with the mechanical ventilation. It showed that the emission rates of gaseous pollutants, such as ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and odor concentration, in the compost pilot plant operated with the mechanical ventilation and with the agitation of compost pile were higher than those with the natural ventilation and without the agitation. While the concentrations of inhalable dust and total airborne bacteria in the compost pilot plant with the natural ventilation and with the agitation, the concentrations of respirable dust and total airborne fungi in the compost pilot plant with the mechanical ventilation and agitation were higher than those with the natural ventilation and without the agitation of compost pile. It was statistically proved that indoor temperature and relative humidity affected the release of particulates and biological pollutants, and ammonia and hydrogen sulfide were believed primary malodorous compounds emitted from the compost pilot plant.
