Protecting Building Occupants in Puerto Rico from Vapor Intrusion Hazards
Vapor intrusion occurs when there is a migration of vapor-forming chemicals from a subsurface source into an overlying building. This subsurface source is often contaminated groundwater or soil. These vapor-forming chemicals can cause indoor air quality (IAQ) problems and sometimes pose a health concern for building occupants. Examples of vapor-forming chemicals listed by the U.S. Environmental ...

How much Oxygen in Needed for Aerobic Cometabolism of PCE?
CL-Out bioremediation degrades PCE without the production of vinyl chloride under a wide aerobic ranges. The following compilation of data from 14 locations shows PCE removal with ORP levels in ground water ranging from -150 to 250 standard units. The concentration removed ranges from 10 to nearly 1,000 ug/L. The amount removed does not appear to be dependent on the ORP level. It is probably ...

Vapor Intrusion Hazards and Resources to Protect Building Occupants
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation describes vapor intrusion as the process by which volatile chemicals move from a subsurface source into the indoor air of an overlying or adjacent building. They share the fact that the subsurface source can either be contaminated groundwater or contaminated soil which releases vapors into the pore spaces in the soil. Vapors can also ...
