Sick House Syndrome(SHS) is the environmental health problem which is difficult to clarify a causal relationship and a responsibility. This paper is focused on a National Environmental Dispute Resolution Commission(NEDRC)'s judgment on SHS and the process of the change of knowledge and policies related to SHS. In the process of the resolving the SHS dispute, NEDRC functioned as a boundary organization, which helps stabilize the boundary between science and policy, and provides space of mutual collaboration and produces boundary objects. NEDRC had necessary characteristics and resources to make scientific knowledge and policies of SHS. First, it was important for SHS to define a problem clearly and to justify the related information whereupon legal authority was effective. In addition, for the procedure of deciding polities, the role of the Ministry of Environment(ME) was essential. However, due to the condition of ME, the discussion of SHS had been limited to the scope of dispute, excluding scientific discussion.

국토해양부(장관 정종환)는 두통, 아토피 등 새집증후군을 예방하고 공동주택 입주민들이 건강하게 거주할 수 있도록 “청정건강주택(Clean Healthy House) 건설기준”을 제정하였으며, 올해 12월 1일 이후에 주택건설사업계획승인 신청을 하는 1천세대 이상 신축 또는 리모델링 주택부터 적용한다고 밝혔다. 국토해양부가 청정건강주택 건설기준을 마련한 것은 현재의 "다중이용시설 등의 실내공기질 관리법" 등 새집증후군 관련 규정이 건축자재에서 발생하는 일부 유해물질의 실내공기中농도만을 규제함으로써 새집증후군 문제를 근본적으로 해결하는 데는 한계가 있으므로, 주택의 설계 시공부터 입주후 유지관리 단계까지 주택을 청정하고 건강하게 건설 관리할 수 있는 기준을 제시한 것이다.

The main sources of the new house syndrome(sometimes it called sick building syndrome) are a concentration of formaldehyde (HCHO) and a concentration of total volatile organic compounds(TVOC). I had field measurements of indoor air quality in the apartment unit at medium-size cities(Y city, C city). I measured indoor air temperature, HCHO concentration in 16 units, TVOC concentration in 6 units and air tightness in 7 units. And I measured outdoor air quality, HCHO concentration and TVOC concentration. Mean concentration of HCHO was $357{\mu}g/m^3$(2006 standard=$120{\mu}g/m^3$), mean concentration of TVOC was $3,092{\mu}g/m^3$ and mean effective air leakage area was 193 cm2. There was a close relation between the indoor air temperature and HCHO concentration, between the indoor air temperature and TVOC concentration. Air tightness also had relation.
