Indoor air pollution by chemical substances might have adverse effect on human health and may cause the distinctive disease so-called sick house syndrome, sick building syndrome, and chemical sensitivity. This article reviews health problems due to indoor air pollution by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) based on our experiences. We measured concentration of formaldehyde and VOCs in many occupational spaces: several types of residences, a primary school, and some institutions. Additionally, some people who complained about health problems related to indoor air pollution were interviewed. First, we focused on the characteristics of VOCs and briefly explained useful measuring methods for them in actual field settings. Next, the symptoms, pathology, mechanisms, diagnosis, and remedies to indoor chemical pollution were summarized. We concluded that our tasks were to educate the public and medical specialists on the information about health problems caused by VOCs, and to improve our research to solve those issues.}, pages = {1--12}, title = {室内揮発性有機化合物の動向と健康問題}, volume = {3}, year = {2007} }
