1.Cracks in solid floors 2.Construction joints 3.Cracks in walls 4.Gaps in suspended floors 5.Gaps around service pipes 6.Cavities inside walls 7.The water supply

Factors that Enhance Soil-Vapor Intrusion Stack Effect Combustion Appliances Exhaust Fans Unbalanced HVAC Systems

Evolving Indoor Air Action Levels 1,1-DCE – In 2004, CDPHE increased indoor air action level from 0.49 g/m 3 5.0 g/m 3 TCE – >1.6 g/m 3 triggers mitigation 0.8 g/m 3 to 1.6 g/m 3 triggers further study < 0.8 g/m 3 – Continued monitoring not required

Evolving Indoor Air Action Levels “No Further Action” determination can be issued if indoor-air TCE levels are below background or within EPA 1X10 -6 proposed range
