It Came From Beneath: Detecting and Mitigating Vapor Intrusion
نویسنده
چکیده
Although indoor air quality has been a topic of intense public health inquiry for many years, it's only been relatively recent that vapor intrusion has been recognized as a source of indoor air contaminants. Today researchers are searching for better ways to measure and control volatile chemicals that can enter buildings from the soil and groundwater beneath them.

The Nokeh intrusion exposed in the northern Semnan area. The intrusion is composed of monzonite-quartz monzonite and granite-granodiorite and was intruded in the Eocene carbonaceous tuffs, where the country rocks converted to magnetite-skarn. Plagioclase, orthoclase, quartz, biotite, amphibole and clinopyroxene are the constituent minerals of Nokeh intrusion. The study rocks represent granular,...
متن کاملMoving dispersion method for statistical anomaly detection in intrusion detection systems
A unified method for statistical anomaly detection in intrusion detection systems is theoretically introduced. It is based on estimating a dispersion measure of numerical or symbolic data on successive moving windows in time and finding the times when a relative change of the dispersion measure is significant. Appropriate dispersion measures, relative differences, moving windows, as well as tec...

Vapor intrusion from affected soils and groundwater into overlying structures has been identified as a potential mechanism for human exposure to volatile organic chemicals (VOCs), including petroleum hydrocarbons. However, in many cases, background concentrations of organic vapors in indoor air, associated with household products, vehicles, or ambient air, can lead to incorrect conclusions rega...
