Australia: Enviromail 52 - Sampling and Analysis of Soil Gas using Canisters
29 April 2011
Interest in Soil Gas has increased significantly in
recent years as the focus has broadened from direct
measurements of soil contamination to human
exposure risks though Vapour Intrusion. This
change is reflected in the Vapour and Soil Gas
Investigations section of the draft 2011 National
Environment Protection Measure (NEPM) for
Contaminated Sites, which states: “Soil vapour
measurements may be considered to be a more
accurate assessment of vapour risks than
measurements from bulk soil or groundwater.”

Australia: Enviromail 51 - TRH/BTEXN and F1 to meet the Draft 2011 NEPM Requirements
11 April 2011
TPH has been reported in Australia for many years in four fractions i.e. C6 – C9 (Volatile fraction) and C10 – C14, C15–C28 & C29–C36 (Semi-Volatile fractions).
The long awaited draft revision of the NEPM was released for public comment on 24thSeptember 2010 with one of the most significant changes being the inclusion of HILs for petroleum hydrocarbons. The
rationale behind the development of the fractions is outlined within Schedule B1, section 2.2.3 [1]. This in effect allocates HILs on the basis of a combined aliphatic and aromatic fraction (assuming the
constitution of fresh, unweathered petrol and/or diesel). HILs are expressed for the Volatile fraction C6 – C10, and the Semi-Volatile fractions >C10 – C16, >C16–C34 and >C34.
