Hartman Environmental Geoscience will be providing a comprehensive and practical training class in Dallas-Ft. Worth and Austin in May, 2017. The course is open to all environmental professionals on how to understand and assess the vapor intrusion pathway.
The course will also cover ramifications of the new ASTM Phase 1 Standard relating to the vapor encroachment condition in Phase 1 assessments.
The course is highly interactive with numerous class exercises from real sites and demonstrations of sampling methods. A draft topic outline follows ...
