New Guidelines on Vapor Intrusion from EPA

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released two new technical guides to support assessment and mitigation activities at sites where vapor intrusion is an actual or potential concern this month.

“These guides will promote national consistency in assessing and addressing the vapor intrusion human exposure pathway at contaminated sites to protect human health — particularly the most vulnerable,” says Mathy Stanislaus, assistant administrator for the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response. “States, tribes, and localities, in particular, will find the guides to be critical resources for identifying and considering key factors related to vapor intrusion assessments, risk management decisions, and mitigation actions.”
