A Case Study in Indoor Air Quality
Patricia Beach, M.S., CIH, REA
Managing Partner with Harris & Lee Environmental Sciences, LLC
The case study centers on a military installation in Northern California with over three dozen officers’ homes built in the early 1940’s that have been occupied since their construction and now have “historic” status at the site. It was discovered that the homes were constructed with creosote-coated timber and had levels of naphthalene well above health-based residential levels. Options for remediation were identified and executed for the homes and a sampling plan was carried out that evaluated naphthalene concentrations in the indoor environment. The speaker will share the many challenges, and the results and conclusions of this interesting case study.
