    <mods:title>Field test method development for measuring VOCs indoor air concentration at Rhode Island VI sites and the dynamic impact by building material</mods:title>
  </mods:titleInfo>
  <mods:abstract>Vapor intrusion (VI) is the process of volatile organic contaminants (VOCs) migrate to indoor space from contaminated soil or ground water, causing human exposure to toxicants. VI has raised environmental health concern throughout the US, including in Rhode Island. Building material is one important parameter that influence the indoor chlorinated VOCs concentration. In this project, adsorption isotherms and partition coefficients data will be collected to understand equilibrium and dynamic process of different building materials, using inverse gas chromatography (IGC) methods.  The adsorption and desorption parameters could improve the computational model to predict the real indoor contaminant concentration. At the meantime, a series of field samplings will be carried out at two Rhode Island VI sites, using two parallel technics, including active sampling with sorbent tubes and portable gas chromatography (GC), to test indoor air concentrations of chlorinated VOCs varying over time.  The filed test data will be used to validate the VI computational model prediction.</mods:abstract>
