Course Overview
This online course is designed specifically for regulators. It aims to provide a framework of understanding for vapor intrusion (VI) mitigation system design and implementation. It will feature discussion on the implication of sub slab pressure differential standards and the effect of outside variables on them. Monitoring standards and current options for continuous data collection and automated reporting will also be explored.
