Yapı Ürünlerinden Kaynaklanan Uçucu Organik Bileşiklerin Yapı Biyolojisi Açısından İrdelenmesi

Yapı kullanıcılarındaki birçok sağlık sorununun kaynağı, önemli iç hava kirleticisi gruplarından birisi olan uçucu organik bileşiklerdir (UOB). Ortak özellikte yüzlerce farklı kirleticiyi içeren UOB, düşük sıcaklıklarda gaz durumuna geçebilen maddeler olarak ele alınmaktadır. UOB nedeniyle oluşan sorunların önlenmesi için, yapı ve çevrelerinde UOB’den kaynaklanan olumsuzlukların ve sağlık üzerindeki etkilerinin belirlenmesi gerekir. Çalışmada, bu amaç için yapı biyolojisi bilim alanında geliştirilmiş bir irdeleme modelinden yararlanılmıştır. Bu modelde işleyiş, olumsuzluk etkeninin: UOB içeren yapı ürünlerin, olumsuzluğun: iç havadaki UOB’in, sağlığı bozan etkenin: UOB’in olduğu bir ortamda bulunmanın ve ortaya çıkabilecek sağlık sorunlarının belirlenmesi şeklindedir. Gerçekleştirilen araştırmayla birçok farklı yapı ürününün bu kirleticileri içerebildiği anlaşılmıştır. Kirleticilerin iç havaya salınmasında ortam koşulları etkilidir. Yapılan birçok incelemede iç çevrede kirletici yoğunluklarının dış çevreye oranla yüksek düzeyde gerçekleştiği ortaya konmuştur. İnsanın bu kirleticilerden olumsuz etkilenmesinde, kirletici türünün yanı sıra, etkilenime ilişkin ayrıntıların yüksek önem taşıdığı göz ardı edilmemelidir. Bu kirleticilerin yoğunluğunun azaltılması ve olumsuz etkilerinin önlenmesi için, UOB içeren yapı ürünlerinin kullanılmaması ya da kullanım koşullarının denetlenmesi ve yapıda iyi bir havalandırma sağlanması gerektiği belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, bundan sonra yapılacak çalışmalarla ilgili öneriler geliştirilmiştir.

Examination of Volatile Organic Compounds From Building Products in Terms of Building Biology

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are within important pollutant groups which cause indoor air pollution and many serious health problems. VOCs include hundreds of different pollutants with similar properties and can easily volatilize at low temperatures. In order to avoid problems, negativities caused by VOCs in the building and its environments and the effects on human health must be determined. In this study, an examination and relations model, produced for this purpose in the field of building biology, is used. The process of this model includes the determination of a negative feature in building: building products with VOCs, a negative condition: VOCs in indoor air, a hazardous effect: being exposed to VOCs and many health problems. The research has shown that many different building products may contain VOCs. The indoor environment conditions are effective on emission properties. It has been understood that indoor air concentrations of these pollutants are mostly much higher than outdoor concentrations in many studies. For the exposure of users, not only the type of pollutants but also the properties of exposure are effective. In order to avoid negative effects or to reduce the concentrations, it is advised not to prefer VOCs containing building products, to control their usage conditions and to supply accurate ventilation in buildings. Recommendations are provided for future researches.
