Chair: Dr. Paul Johnson, Arizona State University – Department of Civil and Environmental EngineeringKeynote: Dr. Paul Johnson
Vapor intrusion pathways from groundwater to indoor air are difficult to predict and measure due to many complex natural processes. Risks associated with exposure from vapor intrusion-impacted sites drive many corrective action plans and site cleanup, and simple criteria for identifying potentially problematic sites are needed to provide a more confident and cost-effective assessment of the groundwater to indoor air pathway. This session discussed the results of real-world vapor intrusion studies representing a range of soil, groundwater, and building conditions to characterize the chemical and physical mechanisms and site parameters controlling the transport of volatile organic compounds from groundwater to overlying structures.
