Abstract

Recently indoor air pollution caused by exposing hazardous chemicals (VOCs, formaldehyde) due to undiscriminated use of new construction materials and air-tightness to save energy is becoming a big issue. We have developed technologies to estimate the amounts of contaminants from constructions materials and method. We have further developed construction technologies to reduce and characterize these contaminants. The developed technologies were then refined to eliminate defects through considering field applicability.
