		<title>ITRC Understanding Vapor Intrusion - Introductory Concepts &amp; Fundamentals - A Two Part Series, Session 1, 11/17/2026</title>
		<link>http://www.clu-in.org/courses/sresults.cfm?num=6689</link>
		<guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.clu-in.org/courses/sresults.cfm?num=6689</guid>
		<description>The Vapor Intrusion 101 training series provides an overview of vapor intrusion (VI) and presents information from the 2026 ITRC VI Toolkit (which includes fact sheets, technology information sheets, and checklists). This course introduces participants to the fundamentals of vapor intrusion, the process by which vapor-forming chemicals in contaminated soil or groundwater volatilize and migrate into buildings. The course will discuss sources, pathways, and receptors. It will identify and assess VI risks in various settings (residential, commercial, industrial) and familiarize participants with regulatory frameworks and guidelines (e.g., USEPA, state-specific regulations). The participants will gain working knowledge of how to develop a Conceptual Site Model (CSM), design and implement sampling strategies, establish data quality objectives (DQOs), and conduct data and risk evaluations. It will provide an overview of mitigation strategies, including various closure strategies, land use covenants, and institutional controls.</description>
