人們平均有長達百分之九十的工作時間在室內環境,因此室內環境品質的優劣將會對人體的身體健康有絕對的影響。室內環境的優劣可能對人體的眼睛、皮膚、及上呼吸道造成影響,並且容易造成頭痛及疲勞。然而大多數研究均針對辦公室人員及學校教職員的眼睛及上呼吸道的臨床症狀與室內空氣品質的相關性,很少有以醫院環境作為研究的對象。因此,本文的主要目的在於探討影響醫院室內空氣品質的要素,包括懸浮微粒、建築物的形式、二氧化碳、一氧化碳、氧氣和總碳氫化合物(THC)的濃度及空氣溼度等主要因素。
People in the industrialized world spend about 90% of their life's indoors, and there is an increasing concern about possible health effects of the indoor environment. Indoor environment may influence the occurrence of symptoms such as eyes, skin, and upper airway irritation, headache and fatigue. However, most of the studies on subjective indoor air quality, symptoms, and clinical signs form eyes or upper airways have been performed on office workers or school personnel, and there are few indoor air studies in hospital environment. The aim of this paper is to study relations between subjective indoor air quality, in particular the effect of dampness, type of building, concentration of CO2、CO、O2 and total hydrocarbon (THC), and air humidity.
