Abstract

We gathered exposure data on indoor air pollution, and investigated the dose-response slope factor forindoor air pollutants, such as volatile organic compounds, aldehydes and radon. Population cancer risks (thatis the theoretical cancer deaths) were estimated from exposure to the pollutants. In addition, the damagecosts, due to their risks, were estimated using WTP (willingness to pay) and VSL (value of a statistical life),which were investigated by a dichotomous contingent valuation method (DCVM). As a priority for humanhealth risks and damage costs, management strategies are required for both radon and formaldehyde asindoor air pollutants. When the numeric results of human risks and damage costs are applied for otherpurposes, some assumptions and uncertainties have to be considered to use the results as useful screeningtools for the administration of practical risk-based priorities.
