Abstract
The indoor and outdoor air quality problems have been the subject of numerous worldwilde investigations. The air sampling in many buildings has indicated that indoor concentrations of known pollutants often exceed standards set for outdoor air. Many buildings materials and products contain asbestos. In a new building, or where recent removal, construction or decoration work has been undertaken, there can be a lot of asbestos fibres from damaged asbestos containing materials (ACM) dispersing into the indoor air. They can be inhaled by occupants of the buildings and cause the cancer among other. The paper contains a short synthesis of current knowledge on asbestos in building generally, some international data of measurements and recommendations for safety use of ACM. It looks at using of ACM in building in Poland and at polish regulations connected with this problem. Some Polish Standards set for indoor and outdoor airborne asbestos fibres concentrations in Poland and some data of measurements are presented. The short synthesis of general knowledge on asbestos in building, the air pollution and health risk for occupants
