Research Abstract |
We have two kind of life inside or outside of house. Here, we consider about the comfort life inside of the house. Now, we use so many electric machines in the house, and we live in artificial climate rooms. But, this artificial climate is doubtful for our good health. In this research, we measured the electromagnetic wave level of home electric machines which help the housework, and that of personal computer and/or potable personal telephone for our convenience for our dailylife. The environmental pollution by electromagnetic wave is not visible, but it is caused by electric machines. The second subject of this research is, to make comfortable indoor climate or environment. We choose 3 kinds of environmental factors such as ; noise level, room temperature level and illuminance level. And we tried to make most comfortable condition compound by those kind of factors. About electromagnetic waves, most of our electric machines and potable telephone radiate electromagnetic waves cosiderably. So, we have to use only short time those kind of electric machines such as ; an electric carpet or an electric razor. Because we have we use them very close to our body. And also, we have to use an electromagnetic cooker not on the dining table, but in the kitchen. On the other hand, we found that most of us feel brighter in high temperature room than that in low temperature room. And also, most of us feel noisier in high temperature room than in low temperature room. The room temperature affect other environmental factors. So, we have to make an good environmental plan after due considerstion of temperature.
