DEVELOPMENT OF NEW ACTIVATED CARBON AND TESTS OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS IN THE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT FACILITIES FOR CHEMICAL SENSITIVITY $$$$ DEVELOPMENT OF NEW DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT FACILITIES FOR CHEMICAL SENSITIVITY PART 1

摘要

Chemical Sensitivity (CS) is a disorder in which people report negative symptoms in response to chemical exposure. To examine and treat CS patients, special facilities are needed in which chemical contaminants are minimized. The purpose of this study is to establish methods of reducing contaminant concentrations in new diagnosis and treatment facilities for CS. We developed a special activated carbon (SAC) for the chemical filters, and tested their performance. It was confirmed that SAC was superior to commercial activated carbon for reducing chemicals and particle emissions. We also determined suitable construction materials for the facilities by chemical emission tests, and developed a new bond without polymers for the facilities.
