We studied the historical perspectives and social or political backgrounds to define the regulation for indoor air quality (IAQ) in residential environment in 29 foreign countries. In contrast to the indoor air in occupational environment, there are multiple low concentration chemicals in residential environments. Therefore, the fundamental concept of approaches to preserve a good IAQ is non-regulatory strategies by IAQ information, e.g., guideline values, labeling systems or documents. In addition, the indoor air pollutants that were caused the serious public health effects and extensively used in residential environment, have been enforced the restriction of the emission rate or banning the use of the emitting materials. The indoor air quality guidelines were established in 13 countries or states. These guidelines were based on each original situation or strategies, e.g., indoor air pollutions, lifestyle, climates or policies. Especially, the guideline values with two or three classifications with the aim of precaution for vulnerable groups to indoor air pollutants, or people with allergies or respiratory illnesses, were established in Germany or the Republic of Finland.
