Abstract This study aims to investigate the concentration of formaldehyde, which is one of the most well-known VOCs(Volatile Organic Compounds), and analyze the characteristic of its concentration in newly-constructed apartment houses. The field measurement was conducted in different five apartment house complexes located in Seoul and Kyonggi province. Indoor concentration of formaldehyde showed between 0.018ppm and 0.607ppm. The average concentration was 0.150ppm and above the foreign standards. It result from the new construction. Also, the higher measurement position and the bigger measurement extent, the greater concentration of formaldehyde. And it was treated by the statistic program to examine the objective relations among the concentration of formaldehyde, measurement factors and basic thermo-environment elements. As a result, the temperature, the relative humidity and the measurement position had a validly effect on the concentration of formaldehyde and the temperature extremely influenced it.
