Selecting the Right VI Equipment
2.0 PDHs
Soil gas is usually analyzed with the same methods used for indoor air, which in the U.S., generally means EPA Method TO-15. TO-15 specifies Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer (GC/MS) analysis of samples from evacuated stainless-steel “Summa” canisters. But because soil-gas concentrations at source areas are so high relative to indoor air, smaller, less costly containers might also suffice. How do you select the right equipment for the job?
Choosing the right equipment is paramount to the success of any job – vapor intrusion included. In the first part of this class, John will look at a wide range of VI equipment: photoionatization detector, sub-slab & near slab equipment and portable GC for VI. Laurie will close out this class by laying out what actions steps that need to be taken before you head out into the field so that you can take VI samples with confidence.
