Vapor Intrusion Testing
Centek Laboratories Air Testing Laboratory has extensive experience sampling and analyzing a broad range of air contaminants including, but not limited to, Volatile Compounds, Air Toxics, and Hazardous Air Pollutants. In fact, Centek Laboratories opened it doors in 2003 working with New York State to develop and implement the NYSDOH Soil Vapor Intrusion Guidance. To this day, the NYSDOH Vapor Intrusion Guidance is regarded as one of the most recognized documents relevant to Vapor Intrusion Sampling and Analysis.

- Appropriate Methods and Procedures
Subsurface Vapor Intrusion has become a topic of particular interest due to factors including:
- Increased recognition of Vapor Intrusion as an important exposure pathway
- Greater emphasis on the remediation of contaminated sites that introduce harmful substances into indoor air
- The recent publication of key state and federal Vapor Intrusion Guidance documents
