DartaChem Laboratories, Inc. Contaminated soil or contaminated groundwater plumes under homes, schools, and businesses emit volatile vapors that can intrude into the overlying structures, and may pose a health risk. While microbes, soil compaction and other factors may naturally attenuate those vapors before they can enter into a building, vapors may be strong enough to accumulate in crawlspaces, basements, and areas with utility connections.
Although at times it is known preciously what compound to look for in an air sample, there are occasions when it’s not always clear what potential pollutants may exist in the sampling environment. DataChem offers three types of analysis to identify what compounds are present in a high enough concentration to warrant further investigation. These methods can be utilized to identify unknowns and show what pollutants should be monitored thereby directing you towards an appropriate compliance method.
For volatile organics we can perform method TO-15 from a summa canister sample.
For volatile organics we can also perform method TO-17 from a Supelco Carbotrap 300.
For the solvent panel we can utilize GC-MS from Charcoal 226-01 or 3M 3500..
