Evaluation of Potential Indoor Air Impact of TCE in Groundwater on Building 864, Air Force Plant 44, Arizona.

Abstract

Occupants of a building proximate to a site where a hazardous substance release has occurred may potentially be exposed to the released chemicals from their transport into the indoor environment. The Air Force Center for Environmental Excellence (AFCEE) requested Armstrong Laboratory's Environmental Sciences Branch evaluate transport through ambient air at Building 864, Air Force Plant 44, Arizona. The evaluation uses the Farmer model, as described in EPA guidance EPA-451/R-92-002, 'Assessing Potential Indoor Air Impacts for Superfund Sites', to predict potential indoor air concentration. This indoor air concentration was then used in the EPA's Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund algorism to predict potential excess cancer risk to workers in the building.
