Objective: The purpose of this study is to have the basis data for indoor air quality at barracks to prevent soldier's respiratory disease in military
Method: We measured the indoor air quality of barracks in concentration with five factors such as airborne microbes, carbon dioxide, fine dust, temperatures and relative humidity at every month from June to August in 2009. We measured the indoor air quality at various time and at the three buildings that were classified year built.
Results: The concentration shows significant difference by the inspected time not by the year built of the buildings. The concentration of airborne microbes, carbon dioxide were highest at 11:00 pm (p<0.01), and those of fine dust were highest at night(p<0.01). Temperatures were highest at 3:00 pm (p<0.01), and relative humidity were highest at 9:00 pm (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Government rules should be legitimated for engineered ventilation system and periodical estimation of indoor air quality at barracks to prevent soldier's respiratory disease.
