CPM Test Guidelines: Use of Controlled Pressure Method Testing for Vapor Intrusion Pathway Assessment

Abstract

This document provides background information and recommendations for practitioners who are planning to use controlled pressure method (CPM) testing for vapor intrusion (VI) pathway assessment. CPM testing is also referred to as "building pressure cycling" and building pressure control testing. The recommendations, based on CPM study results published in peer-reviewed journals and ESTCP reports, are intended to be used as a starting point for the design of site specific CPM test plans. It is assumed that practitioners are familiar with vapor intrusion and have a familiarity with indoor-air sample collection and measurement of air flowrates and pressure differentials.
