TECH FOCUS: Soil Vapor Sampling
Soil vapor sampling is a key component of environmental investigations because of its ability to identify potential environmental hazards that could impact human health and the feasibility of land development. The process plays an essential role in the assessment and management of contaminated sites by collecting and analyzing soil gas to detect volatile organic compounds and other contaminants (e.g., methane, hydrogen sulfide, naphthalene, mercury) present in the subsurface.
