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 1.67105 in CTE in point estimation. Cancer risk of formaldehyde was showed 2.94103 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 3.98105 in CTE and 3.93103 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.
