Abstract Healthy indoor air should be considered an important aspect of the human environment. This study should therefore be taken into consideration in the formulation of future environmental statements.In this research estimation on the concentration of volatile organic compound(VOCs) and formaldehyde(HCHO) - an indoor pollution cause that occurs in newly built apartment - is presented as preliminary information.Indoor air analysis has often to solve the difficult task of representatively characterizing the air in enclosed spaces by only a small number of samples or even by just one sample. Thus it is clear that the sampling strategy is of greatest importance in carrying out indoor measurements.The variation with time of the concentration level of a pollutant in an indoor environment is a well-known phenomenon. Parameters like the height of the building, the temp, the humidity, the time of the day etc. all influence the result of an indoor air measurement. Therefore, it has to be considered carefully when such measurements are carried out.
