Table 8.

Example critical ratios over which TPH in soil vapor will drive vapor intrusion risk over individual compound.

Chemical Critical Ratio 1,2
TPH Gasoline Vapors TPH Middle Distillate Vapors
Benzene 935 452
Ethylbenzene 299 144
Toluene 0.06 0.03
Xylenes 2.9 1.4
Naphthalene 4,028 1,944

1 TPH vapor intrusion screening level (Table 7) divided by individual compound screening level (Table 6); 2 Ratio at which TPH will exceed vapor intrusion screening level when individual compound is at or below its respective screening level (based on a target cancer risk of 106 or a noncancer Hazard Quotient of 1.0).
