Vapor Intrusion
Torrent Laboratory offers regular and low-level reporting for soil vapor testing. Soil vapor intrusion testing is used to analyze and reduce the presence of volatile chemicals in soil. When there are volatile chemicals in subsurface soils, they can move into overlying buildings via vapor intrusion leading to indoor air contamination. These toxic chemical vapors are potential health concerns. However, our full vapor intrusion assessment will determine if there is a problem that needs to be addressed. Vapor testing is the first step to monitoring vapor intrusion and can be useful in both commercial and domestic environments.
Vapor Intrusion Testing Procedures
Vapor intrusion mitigation is achieved by first testing the environment to discover if volatile chemicals have entered the soil or groundwater in various areas on your property. Soil testing can be combined with air tests to discover whether chemicals are being released from the soil into the air or other parts of the environment. Ground contamination testing is often the first step to determine whether an issue is present. Torrent Laboratory has certifications at the highest level from the Department of Defense (DoD ELAP), the Department of Energy (DOE ELAP), the CA ELAP as well as regional certifications for vapor intrusion testing and more.
