Protecting Human Health Through Advanced Detection

ECI Environmental provides comprehensive vapor intrusion investigations and PFAS detection services, utilizing state-of-the-art technology and proven methodologies to identify and assess potential health risks from subsurface contamination.

Vapor Intrusion Investigation

Vapor intrusion occurs when volatile chemicals migrate from contaminated soil or groundwater into overlying buildings through cracks and openings in foundations. Our comprehensive investigation services include:

  • Subslab soil gas sampling
  • Indoor air quality assessment
  • Building pressure differential testing
  • Vapor mitigation system design and installation
  • Long-term monitoring programs

Key Contaminants We Detect

  • • Petroleum hydrocarbons
  • • Chlorinated solvents
  • • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
  • • Methane
  • • Hydrogen sulfide
  • • Industrial chemicals

PFAS Detection & Analysis

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are emerging contaminants of significant concern due to their persistence in the environment and potential health impacts. Our PFAS services include:

  • Comprehensive PFAS sampling protocols
  • EPA Method 537.1 and 533 analysis
  • Soil, groundwater, and surface water testing
  • Source identification and characterization
  • Remediation strategy development

PFAS "Forever Chemicals"

PFAS are synthetic chemicals used in industry and consumer products since the 1940s. They are called "forever chemicals" because they don't break down naturally and can accumulate in people and the environment over time.

Common Sources: Firefighting foam, non-stick cookware, water-resistant clothing, food packaging
