Description:
The science of determining, characterizing and managing vapor intrusion risks is constantly evolving. Much remains to be done in assisting regulators, consultants and other decision-makers to make informed decisions in mitigating the problem and reducing these risks. ORD has been very proactive in providing technical assistance and support to EPA program offices (OSWER), regional offices and states and other interested parties in dealing with vapor intrusion issues. This overview will describe some of the more significant technical support activities offered, to date. In addition to describing significant ORD site-specific technical support activities, key findings and recommendations will be summarized from major technology transfer activities including electronic products, seminars and workshops. Some of this information will be extrapolated from the following: CDROM U.S.EPA Seminars on Indoor Air Vapor Intrusion EPA/625/C-03/004.
