This study accomplished to grasp the present condition of HAPs and to examine efficiently carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health effects through health risk assessment in new apartments from June, 2004 to May, 2005. Moreover, we performed uncertainty analysis by Monte-Carlo analysis to control uncertainty of exposure factors. The major results obtained from this study were as follows. Firstly, cancer risk of formaldehyde for male was 1.67×10⁵ in CTE in point estimation. Cancer risk of formaldehyde was showed 2.94×10³ in RME that applied worst case used results of 95percentile in point estimation. It exceeds 106 of guide line in US EPA. Moreover, cancer risks of formaldehyde for female were 3.98×105 in CTE and 3.93×10³ in RME. Secondly, every hazard index for non-carcinogenic pollutants was less than 1 of permitted standards in CTE. However, in RME of male, hazard indexes of 1,2-Dichloropropane and Toluene were 1.3 and 2.0, respectively. Hazard indexes of 1,2-Dichloropropane and Toluene for female in RME were 1.7 and 2.6, respectively.
