An Excel ® -Based Visualization Tool of Two- Dimensional Soil Gas Concentration Profiles in Petroleum Vapor Intrusion
Abstract
We present a petroleum vapor intrusion (PVI) tool implemented in Microsoft ® Excel ® using Visual Basic for Applications and integrated within a graphical interface. The latter helps users easily visualize two-dimensional soil gas concentration profiles and indoor concentrations as a function of site-specific conditions such as source strength and depth, biodegradation reaction rate constant, soil characteristics and building features. This tool is based on a two-dimensional explicit analytical model that combines steady-state diffusion-dominated vapor transport in a homogeneous soil with a piecewise first-order aerobic biodegradation model, in which rate is limited by oxygen availability. As recommended in the recently released United States Environmental Protection Agency ’ s final PVI guidance, a sensitivity analysis and a simplified Monte Carlo uncertainty analysis are also included in the spreadsheet.
