Integrated Field-Scale, Lab-Scale, and Modeling Studies for Improving the Ability to Assess the Groundwater to Indoor Air Pathway at Chlorinated Solvent-Impacted Groundwater Sites

Abstract

The SERDP Statement-of-Need ERSON-09-03 sought fundamental and applied research leading to improved assessment of the groundwater to indoor air exposure pathway at chlorinated solvent-impacted groundwater plume sites. It reflected an increasing awareness of the vapor intrusion (VI) pathway, and its significance at Department of Defense (DoD) sites. This pathway is now the risk and clean-up driver at many dissolved chlorinated solvent groundwater plume sites, especially those sites where groundwater plumes have migrated beneath buildings or to areas where future development is planned. Consistent with ERSON-09-03, the overall objectives of this project are to gain a better understanding of the utility and limitations of the current vapor intrusion pathway assessment approaches, and to identify pathway assessment options that can lead to greater cost effectiveness and increased confidence in VI pathway assessment decisions. The activities involve integrated field-scale, lab-scale, and modeling studies.
