Risk Assessment of Potential Subsurface Vapor Intrusion Adjacent to a Manufacturing Plant in the United Kingdom
A former chemical manufacturing plant in the United Kingdom was scheduled for closure in the mid-1990s, and a team of environmental managers established a program for identifying and mitigating any potentially unacceptable risks to human health and the environment associated with the facility's 160 years of operation. During an initial screening of potential exposure pathways, subsurface vapor intrusion was identified as a possible concern. Residential properties are present in very close proximity to two former sandstone quarries that had been filled with waste materials and lime slurry from former chlorinated solvent production processes.
