Significance and Use

Soil-gas sampling results can be dependent on numerous factors both within and outside the control of the sampling personnel. Key variables are identified and briefly discussed below. Please see the documents listed in the Bibliography for more detailed information on the effect of various variables.

Application The techniques described in this standard practice are suitable for collecting samples for subsequent analysis for VOCs by US EPA Method TO-15, US EPA Method TO-17, Test Method D5466 , Practice D6196 , or other VOC methods (for example, ISO 16017-1, US EPA Methods TO-3 and TO-12). In general, off-site analysis is employed when data are needed for input to a human health risk assessment and low- or sub-ppbv analytical sensitivity is required. On-site analysis typically has lesser analytical sensitivity and tends to be employed for screening level studies. The techniques also may prove useful for analytical categories other than VOCs, such as methane, ammonia, mercury, or hydrogen sulfide (See Test Method D5504 ).

Limitations :

This method only addresses collection of gas-phase species. Less volatile compounds, such as SVOCs, may be present in the environment both in the gas phase and sorbed onto particulate matter, as well as in liquid phase. In soil gas, the gas-phase fraction is the primary concern. In other potential sampling locations (for example, ambient or indoor air), however, sampling for the particulate phase fraction may also be of interest.

The data produced using this method should be representative of the soil gas concentrations in the geological materials in the immediate vicinity of the sample probe or well at the time of sample collection (that is, they represent a point-in-time and point-in-space measurement). The degree to which these data are representative of any larger areas or different times depends on numerous site-specific factors.

Effect of Purging of Dead Space If a soil gas probe is to be sampled soon after installation, the gas within the probe and any sand pack will consist mostly of atmospheric air. This air must be purged before soil gas that is representative of the geologic materials can be obtained. If the probe has previously been sampled, it may be possible to collect a representative sample after a smaller volume of gas is purged, but the volume of gas in the probe tubing or pipe must be purged at a minimum. It is recommended that a minimum of three (3) dead volumes be purged from the sampling system immediately prior to sample collection. Larger purge volumes typically are not necessary to achieve stable readings and should be avoided for shallower probes or if the potential exists that the additional purging will affect the partitioning of the VOCs in the subsurface. Larger purge (and sample collection) volumes can result in migration of soil gas from locations some distance from the sampling probe. Preferential pathways within the soil may exist and so the uncertainty associated with the origin of the soil gas will tend to increase with increasing purge (and sample) volumes. The data, however, should still be representative of how VOCs will migrate in these subsurface conditions.

Effect of Sampling Rate The faster the rate of sampling, the larger the pressure differential (that is, vacuum) that is induced at the point(s) where soil gas enters the sampling system. The relationship between the flow rate and the vacuum is primarily dependent on the gas-permeability of the subsurface materials. This pressure differential has the potential to affect the partitioning of the VOCs in the subsurface if the VOCs exist in two or more phases (for example, free phase, dissolved phase, gas phase, sorbed onto soil particles) at or near the sampling depth (for example, within 1 m of the sample probe ). Sampling at relatively high rates (for example, >200 mL/min) has the potential to introduce a positive bias to the results (that is, make the results more conservative). The magnitude of any such bias is believed to be at most a factor of two. If the sampling depth is not near the source of the vapors, faster sampling rates (or larger sampling volumes) are not expected to have a significant effect on data quality.

Effect of Induced Vacuum If desired, the induced vacuum can be limited by some upper bound value (for example, 2500 Pa [10 in. of water column]). The induced vacuum, however, is dependent on variables such as soil moisture as well as length and internal diameter of sampling line that may not be under the control of the user. Most significantly, the use of an upper limit for induced vacuum may preclude the use of preset flow control devices that allow unattended sample collection into evacuated canisters.

Effect of System Volume and Length of Tubing The system volume should be relatively small to minimize the volume of dead space that must be removed prior to sampling. In practice, this typically means that 0.32 or 0.64-cm ( 1 / 8 or
