18 Vapor Intrusion Modeling Models are used for vapor intrusion evaluation, but there are a range of opinions about their use Models underestimate risk Models overestimate risk Models have limited it applicability - Can they evaluate range of conditions? Sub-slab samples Crawl space construction NAPL sources Biodegradation Models are only as good as the inputs used (GIGO) These uncertainties ti have led to frequent suggestions to simply monitor indoor air 18
19 Modeling vs Monitoring Indoor air sampling may be impractical due to background effects Models can aid in the determination of corrective action strategies and/or remediation objectives Risk evaluation for potential exposure scenarios can be addressed with modeling (key consideration for brownfields sites) Some combination of data collection and modeling is usually appropriate Need to confirm quality of model inputs and measured results before assessing whether the model is providing representative results 19
20 Vapor Intrusion Models There are more options than the Johnson and Ettinger Model Empirical Analytical Numerical USEPA Database Johnson and Ettinger (1991) VAPOURT (1989) Little et al. (1991) Sleep & Sykes (1989) San Diego SAM RUNSAT (1997) VOLASOIL (1996) Abreu beu&jo Johnson (2005) (005) Krylov and Ferguson (1998) VIM (2007) DLM - Johnson et al. (1999) Brown University (2007) BioVapor (2010) Model selection is dependent on what you know about the site and the level of desired assessment 20

29 BioVapor Model (API, 2010) API Disclaimer: The model is not expected to provide highly accurate predictions when a single set of input parameter values is used to represent a single site. Rather, the model is expected to help the user identify a reasonable range of potential outcomes that result from varying key input parameter values to account for the uncertainty and variability associated with site conditions. 29
