Sample Collection and Evaluation of Vapor Intrusion to Indoor Air for Remedial Response, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and Voluntary Action Programs SAMPLE COLLECTION AND EVALUATION OF VAPOR INTRUSION TO INDOOR AIR FOR REMEDIAL RESPONSE, RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND RECOVERY ACT AND VOLUNTARY ACTION PROGRAMS Division of Environmental Response and Revitalization March 2020 Acknowledgements This updated guidance was developed by a workgroup of Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) staff. Workgroup members included: Michael Allen Gavin Armstrong Sarah Beal Chris Bulinski Dawn Busalacchi Corin Fogle Erik Hagen Melissa Langton Chuck Mellon Chris Osborne Carrie Rasik Lisa Shook Vanessa Steigerwald-Dick Brian Tucker Katie Weyrauch The following guidance document represents an update to the May 2010 Ohio EPA document of the same title and supersedes any and all previous vapor intrusion guidance documents presented by the agency. This update reflects the Ohio EPA Division of Environmental Response and Revitalization’s (DERR) latest understanding of appropriate policies regarding vapor intrusion. The document was developed using established guidance from the United States (U.S.) Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Interstate Technology Resource Council (ITRC), American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM), and other states, modified for the purposes of complying with remedial response, resource conservation and recovery act and voluntary actions in Ohio. Special thanks to the California Environmental Protection Agency, Department of Toxic Substances Control, for permission to use the Interim Final Guidance for the Evaluation and Mitigation of Subsurface Vapor Intrusion to Indoor Air, December 2004, as a template. In some instances, exact phrasing from California’s guidance was used. Disclaimer This guidance was developed solely for sites under the oversight of Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act program (RCRA), and the Voluntary Action Program (VAP), carried out under the supervision of Ohio EPA DERR. In this document sites managed under CERCLA and RCRA will be characterized as remedial programs i (RP). Use of this guidance for other Ohio EPA programs or other state agency programs may not be appropriate. The guidance serves as an instructional tool for the investigation and evaluation of vapor intrusion at sites in Ohio. It is not meant to be a regulatory document and any statements provided herein are not legally binding. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF ACRONYMS

  • Chapter 3 Equations of State
    Chapter 3 Equations of State The simplest way to derive the Helmholtz function of a fluid is to directly integrate the equation of state with respect to volume (Sadus, 1992a, 1994). An equation of state can be applied to either vapour-liquid or supercritical phenomena without any conceptual difficulties. Therefore, in addition to liquid-liquid and vapour -liquid properties, it is also possible to determine transitions between these phenomena from the same inputs. All of the physical properties of the fluid except ideal gas are also simultaneously calculated. Many equations of state have been proposed in the literature with either an empirical, semi- empirical or theoretical basis. Comprehensive reviews can be found in the works of Martin (1979), Gubbins (1983), Anderko (1990), Sandler (1994), Economou and Donohue (1996), Wei and Sadus (2000) and Sengers et al. (2000). The van der Waals equation of state (1873) was the first equation to predict vapour-liquid coexistence. Later, the Redlich-Kwong equation of state (Redlich and Kwong, 1949) improved the accuracy of the van der Waals equation by proposing a temperature dependence for the attractive term. Soave (1972) and Peng and Robinson (1976) proposed additional modifications of the Redlich-Kwong equation to more accurately predict the vapour pressure, liquid density, and equilibria ratios. Guggenheim (1965) and Carnahan and Starling (1969) modified the repulsive term of van der Waals equation of state and obtained more accurate expressions for hard sphere systems. Christoforakos and Franck (1986) modified both the attractive and repulsive terms of van der Waals equation of state. Boublik (1981) extended the Carnahan-Starling hard sphere term to obtain an accurate equation for hard convex geometries.

  • Liquid-Vapor Equilibrium in a Binary System
    Liquid-Vapor Equilibria in Binary Systems1 Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to study a binary liquid-vapor equilibrium of chloroform and acetone. Measurements of liquid and vapor compositions will be made by refractometry. The data will be treated according to equilibrium thermodynamic considerations, which are developed in the theory section. Theory Consider a liquid-gas equilibrium involving more than one species. By definition, an ideal solution is one in which the vapor pressure of a particular component is proportional to the mole fraction of that component in the liquid phase over the entire range of mole fractions. Note that no distinction is made between solute and solvent. The proportionality constant is the vapor pressure of the pure material. Empirically it has been found that in very dilute solutions the vapor pressure of solvent (major component) is proportional to the mole fraction X of the solvent. The proportionality constant is the vapor pressure, po, of the pure solvent. This rule is called Raoult's law: o (1) psolvent = p solvent Xsolvent for Xsolvent = 1 For a truly ideal solution, this law should apply over the entire range of compositions. However, as Xsolvent decreases, a point will generally be reached where the vapor pressure no longer follows the ideal relationship. Similarly, if we consider the solute in an ideal solution, then Eq.(1) should be valid. Experimentally, it is generally found that for dilute real solutions the following relationship is obeyed: psolute=K Xsolute for Xsolute<< 1 (2) where K is a constant but not equal to the vapor pressure of pure solute.

  • From the Outside, You Can't See Any Difference Between a Run-Flat Tire
    FEATURE Few 10 Tech Drive wer blowouts Run-Flats Offer Convenience and Peace of Mind. If you had X-ray vision, you could see that the sidewall on a 3 Series run-flat is different from that of a conventional tire. Few things are more frightening to a driver than a blowout because several bad things start happening all at once. A trained, experienced driver may be able to bring his or her vehicle to a safe stop after a blowout. However, many drivers just hang on and hope for the best, or, worse, slam on the brakes. Even for an experienced driver, a blowout while driving on a highway with other vehicles nearby is scary. “Run-flat” tires, which still support the car and provide control even when air pressure is lost, greatly reduce the danger of a blowout. Although run-flats have been available for many years, interest in these tires has surged recently. BMW has offered run-flat tires as standard or optional equipment on selected models since the late 1990s. Equipped with run-flats, a BMW can be driven some distance even though the tire has no air in it. However, the maximum recommended speed for a run-flat without air is 50 mph. So, your customer can drive to your shop for tire replace - ment, just not at high speed. In addition to their other benefits, run-flats eliminate the hassle and potential risk of pulling onto the shoulder of a busy highway to replace a flat tire. These tires even offer a convenience benefit, freeing up trunk space because a spare tire and jack are not necessary with run-flats.

New Guidance for Residential Air Cleaners BY LEW HARRIMAN, FELLOW/LIFE MEMBER ASHRAE; BRENT STEPHENS, PH.D, MEMBER ASHRAE; TERRY BRENNAN, MEMBER ASHRAE As HVAC&R professionals, we in the ASHRAE community are sometimes asked ques- tions about residential indoor air quality (IAQ) and how to improve it. What contami- nants are most hazardous? How do I get rid of a particular smell? Should I use this air cleaner or that filter? Sadly, our friends and family generally lose patience when we helpfully suggest: “Well, it’s complicated. But just read Chapters 46, 60 and 62 in the ASHRAE Handbook—HVAC Applications, because there’s great information in there.” In general, we find that information seekers are frustrated by such helpful advice. Usually, the question is repeated (with some heat) in a form such as: “You’re the professional. Can’t you boil it down? What should I DO in my HOUSE?” Fortunately, two new resources can help you better mainstream and social media. When you get questions answer such questions.
