Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of risk assessment technology for contaminated sites, and specifically to a method for assessing the risk of VOCs vapor intrusion into bedrock fissure sites. Background Technology
[0002] Indoor vapor intrusion risk refers to the risk of health hazards to people indoors due to inhaling gaseous volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that evaporate from soil or groundwater into the indoor air. According to domestic and international research, indoor vapor intrusion is a major driver of VOCs pollution risk at sites and a primary basis for determining whether remediation and control measures are necessary. Current technical specifications provide vapor intrusion risk assessment models; however, these models are only applicable to characterizing the transport and risk of VOCs in loose porous strata. They are not suitable for bedrock fissure sites where transport channels are primarily random and discrete. Furthermore, there is currently a lack of mature international experience and methods for accurately characterizing VOCs transport in bedrock fissures and objectively quantifying their potential indoor vapor intrusion risk. my country has diverse topography, with the vast southwest region and the piedmont areas of plains cities primarily characterized by bedrock fissures. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a method for assessing VOCs vapor intrusion risk in bedrock fissure sites. Summary of the Invention

The lower end of the vertical pipe extends to the bottom of the gravel air-conducting layer and above the bedrock fissure layer. A gas sampling port is provided on one side of the upper part of the vertical pipe.

[0021] Using the calculation results of formula (2), the curves of the time for gas to migrate from the gravel gas-conducting layer to the pumping point at different distances from the pumping point are plotted as a function of distance. The distance corresponding to the migration time of 4 hours is read from the curve and used as the maximum influence radius (ROI) during the transmission flux test of the first transmission flux test point. max .

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0033] Existing technical specifications provide VOCs indoor vapor intrusion health risk assessment models that correspond to the physical scenario of VOCs transport driven by molecular diffusion in loosely connected porous media. These models cannot characterize the indoor vapor intrusion health risk in bedrock fracture sites where VOCs are transported and diffused through random discrete fracture channels. Furthermore, although research results on discrete fracture network models simulating VOCs transport processes in bedrock fracture sites have been reported, the highly random and discrete nature of fracture distribution in actual sites makes accurate risk quantification using such models extremely costly. Firstly, extensive drilling tests in the contaminated area are required to finely characterize the three-dimensional spatial distribution of fractures and contaminants within the site. Otherwise, simulation assessment results are prone to overestimating or underestimating the risk, leading to increased uncertainty in management decisions.
[0034] This invention, combined with real-world VOCs indoor vapor intrusion risk exposure scenarios, proposes a risk assessment method for bedrock fracture sites based on measured VOCs transport flux at key indoor vapor intrusion interfaces, filling a gap in this field. Furthermore, the transport flux testing method proposed in this invention typically covers an area exceeding 500m² for a single test point. 2 However, when using the traditional discrete fracture network model to achieve the same evaluation accuracy, at least 50 points need to be tested to achieve a detailed characterization of the fracture and contaminated space, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the model's risk prediction. Therefore, this invention can reduce costs by at least 90%. Attached Figure Description

The pressure monitoring resolution of the device is no more than 0.1Pa, and it reads and stores one pressure data every second.
[0049] Furthermore, the target pollutant transport flux test of the contaminated area was conducted, including: after the pollutant transport flux simulation test system was connected, the vacuum pump 204 was started and continuously pumped at a constant flow rate of 600 L / min for 4 hours. Continuous sampling was performed at the gas sampling port 206 at a sampling flow rate of 1 L / min. After 4 hours of continuous pumping, the vacuum pump 204 and the vacuum pipeline valve 205 were shut off, and the sampling device in the vacuum pump inlet pipe was closed. The collected samples were sent to the laboratory to test the target pollutant concentration. Pressure changes at each pressure monitoring point were continuously monitored and recorded until the readings at each pressure monitoring point returned to the readings before the vacuum pump was started. The monitoring data for each pressure monitoring point was exported. The pressure change curve of each pressure monitoring point over time was fitted using AQTESOLV software, and the gas conductivity T was automatically calculated. i and leakage coefficient B i The average value of the six pressure monitoring points is calculated as the air conductivity T and leakage coefficient B of the local area where the corresponding transmission flux test point is located.
[0050] The gas velocity V(r) in the gravel gas-conducting layer at a horizontal distance r from the extraction point is calculated using formula (1), and the curve of velocity V(r) versus r is plotted:

[0058]
[0059] Among them, C i The average concentration of the target pollutant in the gas sample collected from the intake pipe of the pump during the transfer flux test is expressed in mg / m³. 3 ΔP represents the pressure difference between the interior and exterior of the building's foundation slab, measured in cm of air column height, typically taken as 10 Pa (approximately 83 cm of air column height). T represents the average air conductivity of the gravel air-conducting layer in the local area where the transport flux test point is located, measured in cm³. 2 / min; B is the average leakage rate of the concrete cover layer in the local area where the transmission flux test point is located, in cm.

[0069] Step S6 further includes: comparing the predicted risk of indoor vapor intrusion in the contaminated area with a preset acceptable level; if it exceeds the acceptable level by 1×10⁻⁶, the risk is assessed. -6 If so, control or remedial measures will be implemented.
[0070] Example 2:
[0071] This embodiment uses the risk assessment of chloroform vapor intrusion in a bedrock fissure contaminated site as an example to describe in detail the method of the present invention.
[0072] In this example: The total area of a bedrock fissure site located in front of a mountain is approximately 50,000 m². 2 Historically, the site was primarily used as a chemical plant. According to relevant management requirements, a site survey and risk assessment must be conducted to ensure the safe use of the land.
[0073] Step S1: In accordance with the specifications, by comprehensively utilizing on-site pollution trace identification and rapid detection, historical monitoring data analysis, and multiple batches of progressively denser drilling and sampling tests, approximately 16,000 m² of the site was ultimately delineated. 2 The bedrock and groundwater in the area are contaminated with chloroform.
[0074] Step S2, for 16000m 2 The chloroform-contaminated area was leveled, underground pipes and other facilities were removed, and a negative pressure extraction simulation system was established under the building's foundation. Figure 2The pollutant transport flux simulation test system is shown. On the leveled ground, a gravel air-conducting layer approximately 15cm thick is first laid. The gravel uses quartz sand with a diameter of 3-5mm, and screening ensures the uniformity coefficient of the quartz sand in the gravel air-conducting layer is 3-5. A 15cm thick concrete cover layer with a compressive strength of C35 and a permeability grade of P8 is then laid on top of the gravel air-conducting layer. The concrete cover layer is oxidized according to specifications to prevent cracking.
[0075] Step S3: After the concrete cover layer reaches the curing conditions, firstly, a first transmission flux test point is set at the center of the concrete cover layer laid in the contaminated area. The pressure values of the negative pressure monitoring points at different locations at different distances from the extraction point are recorded over time under a constant extraction rate. At the same time, the gas sampling port of the extraction pipe is sampled periodically to detect the concentration of the target pollutants.
[0076] Specifically, the vertical pipe 213 of the extraction pipe is designated as the extraction point. Six pressure monitoring points 207 are set at intervals of 0.5m, 6m, 10m, 15m, 20m, and 25m around this extraction point, with an angle of 60° between adjacent monitoring points and the extraction point. The extraction pipe 203 is connected, and an online pressure monitoring and recording device is installed. The extraction pump 204 is started, and the extraction flow rate is adjusted to 600 L / min, with continuous extraction for 4 hours. During extraction, gas samples are continuously collected at the gas sampling port 206 of the extraction pipe using a soma canister at a sampling flow rate of 1 L / min. After 4 hours of extraction, the extraction pump 204 and the extraction pipe valve 205 are closed. Once the pressure at the six monitoring points returns to the readings before the pump was started, the data from the pressure monitoring and recording device is exported. AQTESOLV software is used to fit the pressure change curve of each monitoring point over time, and the gas conductivity T is automatically calculated. i and leakage coefficient B i The average value was calculated as T and B for the local area where the corresponding transmission flux test point was located. The fitting results show that the T values obtained from the pressure-time variation curves of the six pressure monitoring points surrounding this transmission flux test point are... i They are 59.4cm respectively. 2 / min, 61.5cm 2 / min, 63.8cm 2 / min, 68.4cm 2 / min, 63.5cm 2 / min, 58.6cm 2 / min, with an average of 62.5cm 2 / min. Fitted B i The measurements were 905.6cm, 901.6cm, 908.2cm, 915.8cm, 902.2cm, and 921.2cm respectively, with an average of 909.1cm.
[0077] The gas velocity in the gravel gas-conducting layer at a horizontal distance r from the extraction point is calculated using formula (1), and the curve of V(r) versus r is plotted as shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 As shown.
[0078]
[0079] Using formula (2), calculate the time t for gas to migrate from the gravel gas-conducting layer at a horizontal distance r from the extraction point to the extraction point. Plot the curves of the time for gas to migrate from the gravel gas-conducting layer at different distances from the extraction point as a function of distance, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 4 As shown.
[0080] From the appendix Figure 4 The distance r = 20m corresponding to a migration time of 240min (4h) is taken as the maximum radius of influence (ROI) during the transmission throughput test at this test point. max Draw a circle with the transmission throughput test point as the center and a radius of 20m. The area covered by this circle is taken as the maximum coverage area for the transmission throughput test of this test point.
[0081]
[0082] Throughout the entire transmission throughput test, the average concentration of chloroform in the gas sample collected continuously from the gas sampling port of the extraction tube using a soma canister was 0.5 mg / m³. 3 The transport flux MF of chloroform at the test point with a pressure difference of 10 Pa (83 cm air column height) was calculated using formula (3). i 5.3×10 -6 mg / (m 2 ·s).
[0083]
[0084] Step S4: Outside the maximum influence area of the transmission throughput test point in step S3, within the contaminated area, select another transmission throughput test point and repeat step S3.
[0085] Step S5: Repeat steps S3 and S4 until the maximum influence area of all transmission throughput test points covers the entire contaminated area, and finally test 16 transmission throughput test points.
[0086] Step S6: The land parcel is planned for future residential use, with a planned area of 16,000 square meters. 2 The pollutant zone is divided into four areas, each with an area of 4000m². 2 The exposed units consist of 4 transmission flux test points. The weighted average of the chloroform transmission flux in each exposed unit is calculated using formula (4). The results are shown in Table 1.
