Evaluation of Empirical Data and Modeling Studies to Support Soil Vapor Intrusion Screening Criteria for Petroleum Hydrocarbon Compounds. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, D.C.
Impact/Purpose:
The purpose of this study is to support the development of a soil vapor screening methodology for PHC compounds for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Underground Storage Tanks (U.S. EPA OUST); consequently, the focus is primarily on characterizing PVI at Subtitle I underground storage tank (UST) sites with petroleum fuel releases. However, PVI data from other types of sites (fuel terminals, petroleum refineries) are also presented and discussed
Description:
This study is an evaluation of empirical data and select modeling studies of the behavior of petroleum hydrocarbon (PHC) vapors in subsurface soils and how they can affect subsurface-to-indoor air vapor intrusion (VI), henceforth referred to as petroleum vapor intrusion or “PVI” for short.
