Reduced ventilation and infiltration, and new materials and machines have increased levels of indoor contaminants. Investigations of many indoor environments reveal contaminant levels above those set as standards for the workplace environments. The acute and chronic health effects on the population are not well known. This paper discusses the current general status of the research in the USA and the planned future effort. Worldwide research is also summarized and future directions are suggested.
