"Is My Family Safe?":
A Community View of Vapor Intrusion
Updated August, 2006 (for the AWMA Specialty Conference on Vapor 
Intrusion, Los Angeles, September 2006)

Lenny Siegel


Abstract: Vapor intrusion elicits profound concern from the people who 
occupy impacted buildings, but they can be a constructive partner in 
vapor intrusion investigations and responses. Those who have 
responsibility for conducting vapor intrusion investigations must learn 
how to better work with communities, utilizing mechanisms such as 
community advisory groups to build trust. They should recognize 
community desires for indoor air sampling, the prompt reporting of 
results, consideration of all sources and pathways, accelerated 
remediation, and protective screening and cleanup goals.
