Know What Lies Below and in The Air Above
Passive sorbent samplers provide quantitative data to sample for VOCs and SVOCs in soil gas, indoor air, and ambient air. Extensive research and empirical data has proven that VOC concentrations in vapor change seasonally, weekly, daily, and even hourly; therefore, passive samplers allow you to collect a sample over days or weeks to more accurately determine the potential health risk to building occupants from subsurface contamination.

US EPA Releases Technical Guidance for Passive Indoor Air Sampling
The US EPA released in August 2015 an Engineering Issue Paper titled, Passive Samplers for Investigations of Air Quality: Method Description, Implementation, and Comparison to Alternative Sampling Methods.
US EPA Releases Vapor Intrusion Guidance Document as Final
The US EPA released in June 2015 the Vapor Intrusion Guidance Document in its final version: OSWER Technical Guide for Assessing And Mitigating the Vapor Intrusion Pathway from Subsurface Vapor Sources to Indoor Air. In 2002, the EPA released the DRAFT version of the document which quickly became outdated as practices and knowledge rapidly developed in managing sites with vapor intrusion concerns.
