Abstract

For indoor air quality at a newly built apartment before move-in, we monitored formaldehyde and VOCsand assessed human exposure and probabilistic health risk. We selected 801 newly built apartments all overthe country. The results of the research on the condition show the mean concentrations of formaldehyde 294㎍/㎥, 210(median) 1497㎍/㎥(maximum), benzene 6㎍/㎥, (4 and 92㎍/㎥), toluene 1003㎍/㎥(773 and 5013㎍/㎥), ethylbenzene 120㎍/㎥, (62 and 1192㎍/㎥), xylene 287㎍/㎥(138 and 2723㎍/㎥) and styrene 64㎍/㎥,(42 and 531㎍/㎥). Formaldehyde from carcinogen and toluene and xylene from non-carcinogen wereassessed the risk for human health. The excess cancer risk of formaldehyde for human beings betweencarcinogens is per 1.36 of average 1000 persons. This implies that it is over a level per 1.00 of 1000persons demanding active risk reduction. Hence, we strongly need the active reduction plan and accuratesource assumption. Among a variety of factors affecting indoor air quality for householders, closingconstruction or density of indoor air processing additional interior construction and indoor area, indoor airquality with a variety of districts show significant. The excess cancer risk for human beings of formaldehydebetween carcinogens is per 1.36 of average 1000 persons. Non-carcinogen toxicity rate for human-beingswith toluene and xylene among non-carcinogens is over HQ 1 from Seoul to local area.
