The issue of indoor air quality (IAQ) is high on the agenda as the Taiwan Government has become increasingly concerned with the large number of health problems associated with indoor pollution. The IAQ standards setting and self-management policy establishing are crucial issues in IAQ management. The purposes of this study are:  To evaluate the reasonability of IAQ standard suggested values proposed by Taiwan EPA;  To suggest the priority items in IAQ managements for different indoor environments.  To propose a framework of IAQ expert consulting group and to recruit professionals for IAQ consulting services in different regions of Taiwan.  To evaluate the reasonability of current biological indexes (bacteria, fungi) and to assess the suitability of other biological indexes such as endotoxin and glucan.  To conduct a comparison study for evaluating a passive on-site formaldehyde detector.  A framework for IAQ expert consulting group was proposed by this study. The members for expert consulting in North, central and South Taiwan were recruited. Consulting services of indoor air quality improving projects in ten sites were conducted by IAQ expert consulting groups  The results from comparison showed the passive on-site formaldehyde detector developed by Yanagisawa research team has good aggrement with traditional DNPH method.
