[0032] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0033] The VOCs indoor vapor intrusion health risk assessment model provided by existing technical specifications corresponds to the physical scenario of VOCs transmission driven by molecular diffusion in loosely connected porous media. It cannot describe the indoor vapor intrusion health risk scenario of VOCs transmission and diffusion through random discrete fracture channels in bedrock fractured sites. In addition, although research results have been reported on discrete fracture network models that simulate the VOCs transmission process in bedrock fractured sites, the strong random discreteness of the fracture distribution in actual sites makes the use of such models to accurately quantify the risk first require extensive drilling tests in the contaminated area to accurately characterize the three-dimensional spatial distribution of the fractures and contamination in the site, which is costly. Otherwise, the simulation assessment results are likely to overestimate or underestimate the risk, leading to increased uncertainty in management decisions.

[0034] This paper combines the VOCs indoor vapor intrusion risk exposure scenario in actual sites and proposes a risk assessment method based on the measured transmission flux of VOCs at key interfaces of indoor vapor intrusion in bedrock fracture sites, filling the gap in this field. At the same time, the transmission flux test method proposed in this paper usually covers an area of ​​more than 500m2 at a single test point. 2 However, when using the traditional discrete fracture network model to achieve the same assessment accuracy, at least 50 points need to be tested to achieve a detailed depiction of the fractures and contaminated space, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the model's risk prediction. Therefore, the present invention can reduce costs by at least 90%. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0070] Example 2:

[0071] This example takes the risk assessment of chloroform indoor vapor intrusion in a bedrock fissure contaminated site as an example to introduce the method of the present invention in detail.

[0072] The situation of this embodiment: a bedrock fissure site located in front of a mountain with a total area of ​​about 50,000m 2 Historically, it was primarily used as a chemical plant. According to relevant management requirements, a site investigation and risk assessment must be conducted to ensure the land can be used safely.

[0073] Step S1: According to the requirements of the regulations, the site pollution trace identification and rapid detection, historical monitoring data analysis, and multiple batches of gradually intensified drilling sampling and testing were used to finally delineate the site. 2 Chloroform contamination of bedrock and groundwater in the region.

[0074] Step S2: 16000m 2 The ground of the chloroform contaminated area was leveled, underground pipelines and other facilities in the area were removed, and a negative pressure exhaust simulation system under the building floor was established. Figure 2The pollutant transmission flux simulation test system shown in the figure. On the leveled ground, a 15cm-thick gravel air-conducting layer is first laid. The gravel is made of quartz sand with a diameter of 3-5mm. Screening is performed to ensure that the unevenness 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 an impermeability grade of P8 is laid above the gravel air-conducting layer. The concrete cover layer is oxidized according to regulatory requirements to prevent cracks.

[0075] Step S3: After the concrete cover reaches curing conditions, a first transmission flux test point is established at the center of the concrete cover laid in the contaminated area. The pressure changes over time at negative pressure monitoring points at different distances from the extraction point are recorded at a constant extraction rate. Simultaneously, gas sampling ports on the extraction pipes are regularly sampled to detect target pollutant concentrations.

[0076] Specifically, the vertical tube 213 of the exhaust pipe is used as the exhaust point, and a total of 6 pressure monitoring points 207 are set with the exhaust point as the center, at intervals of 0.5m, 6m, 10m, 15m, 20m, and 25m, respectively. The angle between two adjacent pressure monitoring points and the exhaust point is 60°. Connect the exhaust pipe 203, install the online pressure monitoring and recording device, start the exhaust pump 204, adjust the exhaust flow rate to 600L / min, and continuously exhaust for 4 hours. During the exhaust process, a Suma tank is used to continuously collect gas samples at the gas sampling port 206 of the exhaust pipe, with a sampling flow rate of 1L / min. After 4 hours of exhaust, close the exhaust pump 204 and the exhaust pipe valve 205. When the pressures of the 6 pressure monitoring points are restored to the readings before the exhaust pump is started, the data in the pressure monitoring and recording devices of the 6 pressure monitoring points are exported, and the AQTESOLV software is used to fit the pressure change curve of each pressure monitoring point over time, and the gas conductivity T is automatically calculated. i and leakage coefficient B i , calculate the average value as T and B of the local area where the transmission flux test point is located. The fitting results show that the T of the pressure variation curve of the 6 pressure monitoring points set around the transmission flux test point is i 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. The fitted B i They are 905.6cm, 901.6cm, 908.2cm, 915.8cm, 902.2cm and 921.2cm respectively, with an average value of 909.1cm.

[0077] Use formula (1) to calculate the gas velocity in the gravel gas-conducting layer at a distance r from the pumping point in the horizontal direction, and draw a curve of V(r) varying with r, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 shown.

[0078]

[0079] Formula (2) is used to calculate the time t of gas migration from the gravel gas-conducting layer at a distance r from the pumping point in the horizontal direction to the pumping point. The curve of the time of gas migration from the gravel gas-conducting layer at different distances from the pumping point to the pumping point is plotted as a function of distance, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 4 shown.

[0080] From the attached Figure 4 The distance r = 20m corresponding to the migration time of 240min (4h) is taken as the maximum influence radius ROI during the transmission flux test of the test point. max , draw a circle with the transmission flux test point as the center and 20m as the radius, and the area covered by the circle is regarded as the maximum coverage area of ​​the transmission flux test of this test point.

[0081]

[0082] During the entire transmission flux test, the gas sampling port of the exhaust pipe continuously collected gas samples using a Suma tank, and the average chloroform concentration was 0.5 mg / m 3 , use formula (3) to calculate the transmission flux MF of chloroform at the test point with a pressure difference of 10Pa (83cm air column height) i 5.3×10 -6 mg / (m 2 ·s).

[0083]

[0084] Step S4: Select another transmission flux test point outside the maximum impact area of ​​the transmission flux test point in step S3 and within the contaminated area, and repeat step S3.

[0085] Step S5, repeating steps S3 and S4 until the maximum impact areas of all transmission flux test points cover the entire contaminated area, and finally testing 16 transmission flux test points.

[0086] Step S6: The land is planned to be used as residential land in the future. 2 The polluted area is divided into four zones with an area of ​​4000m 2 Each exposure unit includes 4 transmission flux test points. Formula (4) is used to calculate the weighted average of the chloroform transmission flux in each exposure unit. The results are shown in Table 1:

[0091] Formula (5) is used to calculate the carcinogenic health risk of indoor vapor intrusion of target pollutants in the exposure unit, and formula (6) is used to calculate the non-carcinogenic health risk of indoor vapor intrusion of target pollutants.

[0092]
