  • Abstract
    This paper introduces current atmosphere pollution in Chinese cities and analyses the sources of indoor air pollution (IAP) such as TVOCs, formaldehyde, radon radiation, molds etc. and their harmful effects to occupants. The consequence between IAP and some diseases are also explored. Aiming at the contributing factors of IAP in building design, corresponding measures are suggested to control them and make a healthy indoor environment for occupants.
