Description
Summary:碩士 === 臺北醫學大學 === 公共衛生學研究所 === 96 === Purpose:The aim of this study is to evaluate the indoor air quality and the satisfaction of users and workers in a sports center. Methods:Indoor climate variables monitored were: carbon dioxide(CO2), carbon monoxide(CO), formaldehyde(HCHO), total volatile organic compounds(TVOC), particulate mater 10(PM10), particulate mater 2.5(PM2.5), Ozone(O3), Temperature(T) and releative humidity(RH%). The evaluation was carried out at a sports center in Taipei. All data collected were monitored by PP Monitor SAS and Aerocet531. Data were anlyzed by SPSS15.0.Questionnaire regarding the general information was filled in by users and workers in the sports center. Questionnaire containing questions on personal data, personal health condtion, work environment, determinants of sports center quality and air quality. Results:The weekly measurement shows that most of the air quaily are within the EPS suggested level except O3 and CO2 items. The CO2 conc. is higher significantly during night than in the morning; HCHO and TVOC conc. are higher significantly before noon than afternoon..When users are more than 80 in multi-function sport court, users of more than 15 in shooting court and users of more than 40 in gymnasium, the CO2 conc.will probably exceed 1000 ppm and should be concerned. Gymnasium and swimming pool have the highest using rates. 89.3% of users and 75.6% of workers were satisfied with air qulitiy. Persons mainly of the swimming pool users, fitness trainers, swimming coaches and shooting coaches express dissatisfaction. Conclusion:The most frequent used utilities in sports center are gymnasium and swimming pool; however, the air quality in these places is rather undesirable. Therefore, sport center could stress on improvement of air quality in these two fields, through efficient population control or higher ventilation, to increase the comfort of customers and workers.
