About the Course
Vapor intrusion into structures on property can potentially create significant liability for owners and prospective purchasers and have a material impact on property value. ASTM Standard E2600 Standard Practice for Assessment of Vapor Intrusion into Structures on Property Involved in Real Estate Transactions was developed to facilitate assessment of vapor intrusion on these properties.
