DEVELOPMENT OF INDOOR AIR REMEDIATION STANDARDS FOR THE VAPOR INTRUSION EXPOSURE PATHWAY

This appendix describes the procedures and equations used by the Department to develop the indoor air remediation standards for the vapor intrusion exposure pathway as contained at N.J.A.C. 7:26D Appendix 1, Tables 7 and 8. This appendix is also used to develop interim indoor air remediation standards for the vapor intrusion exposure pathway pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:26D-6 and for updating indoor air remediation standards for the vapor intrusion exposure pathway pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:26D-7.

If the calculated indoor air human health-based criterion for a contaminant is less than the reporting limit, the indoor air remediation standard defaults to the reporting limit.

Equations 1 and 2 below are derived from the USEPA, Regional Screening Levels (RSLs)--Equations (November 2018). A detailed explanation of the derivation of Equations 1 and 2 is contained at N.J.A.C. 7:26D Appendix 12.
