Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Methods

Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Methods

– Eliminate preferential pathways

– Increase ventilation inside the building

– Active sub-slab ventilation (depressurization)

7 BRAC Program Management Office.

Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Methods

Eliminate Preferential Pathways– Fill subsurface vaults – Seal cracks/expansion joints in floor slabs– Seal pipe penetrations/floor drains

Sealing floor cracks Sealing floor drains

8 BRAC Program Management Office.

Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Methods

Increase Ventilation Inside the Building– Fresh air intake – Increased air exchange rate

9 BRAC Program Management Office.

Vapor Intrusion Mitigation Methods

Active Sub-slab Ventilation– Sub-slab depressurization system creates a negative pressure field below the building preventing soil gas from entering the building
