Summary	After the revision of Building Standards Law, formaldehyde concentration has been controlled by the countermeasure of source and ventilation. But there are still problems for VOC, SVOC, biofilm fouling (mold etc.), and effective multi-zone ventilation. In this research project, the problems about the indoor pollutants and the ventilation are clarified, and the countermeasures are examined.
