Useful Vapor Intrusion Sites

1. Over the past few years compiling vapor intrusion (VI) state guidance documents and other resources, we have found the following sites to be useful:
   • CLU-IN (Contaminated Site Clean-Up Information), which was developed by US EPA, lists general VI-related publications and resources by state and EPA regions
     (note: listed resources are occasionally out of date):
     https://clu-in.org/issues/default.focus/sec/Vapor_Intrusion/cat/Overview/
     https://clu-in.org/issues/default.focus/sec/Vapor_Intrusion/cat/Policy_and_Guidance/
   • The UST program of EPA’s OSWER has developed a comprehensive petroleum vapor intrusion (PVI) compendium, which lists publications and state resources pertinent to PVI (and VI in general)
     (note: listed resources are occasionally out of date):
     https://www.epa.gov/ust/petroleum-vapor-intrusion
   • EPA’s OSWER has a VI-dedicated page with various resources and updates (generally specific to EPA):
     https://www.epa.gov/vaporintrusion
   • RTI International (in contract with EPA) maintains a VI-related website, which has archived the VI-related workshops that have taken place in March of each year in San Diego at the west coast Annual International Conference on Soil, Water, Energy, and Air organized by the Association for Environmental Health and Sciences (AEHS) Foundation:

   • Department of Defense (DOD) fact sheets on VI:

   • The American Petroleum Institute (API) has developed a set of VI-dedicated pages that are generally specific to PVI:

   • The Federal Remediation Technologies Roundtable website provides VI-related documents, including presentations and reports (not organized by topic):

   • Geosyntec lists VI resources available by state and subtopic (generally up to date):

   • Land Science (a division of Regenesis) lists VI resources available by state (generally up to date):

   • Dragun Corporation lists VI screening levels and resources available by state:

   • The Policy Surveillance Program (A LawAtlas Project):

   • In Appendix B of its October 2014 PVI guidance, ITRC lists PVI resources by state:

   • NAVFAC provides additional information relevant to VI with an emphasis on the US Department of Defense (DOD)’s approach to VI:

   • The review by Eklund et al. (2018) provides a good VI guidance snapshot, valid as of January 2018:

   • The VI survey by Parsons (2010) prepared for Mass DEP provides substantial information (albeit dated) regarding VI guidance for each state:

   • The VI survey by ASTSWMO (2009) also provides resources by state at the time the survey was completed:
