The circumstances affecting the development of Central Data Base in the Building Research Institute, concerning the influence of building materials on air chemical impurity the residential and public utillity buildings have been explained in this paper. This Data Base is a pioneer initiative in Poland in the field of system evaluation of inside air and it forms the basic element of the Information Bank, which is just under development. The Data Base consists of two parts: BASE A - contains the hygienic investigation results of building materials of chemical origin; BASE B - contains the hygienic investigation results of air inside the residential and public utility buildings.These results have been obtained by Environmental Protection Department of the Building Research Institute and by sanitary inspection divisions subjected to Ministry of Health and Social Welfare. The main goals and functions of the Information Bank are presented in this paper. The methods of performing three basic tasks - informative, analytical and educational one are described having in mind the effective protection of inside air against the chemical pollution and creation of proper ecological conditions for social. The paper presents also, for example, results of analysis and estimation of the toluen evaluation on chemical air pollution inside the residential and public utility buildings.
