Understanding Vapor Intrusion

Real estate developers and property owners everywhere are looking for ways to develop a significant number of brownfield sites as part of their long-term real estate strategy in residential, retail, and commercial property. While the redevelopment of these large parcels may seem to represent attractive investment opportunities, at the same time, they also pose a very real challenge due to their contaminated past and the complex, time-consuming remediation needed to meet regulatory compliance standards.

Environmental issues at brownfield sites vary across locations, states, and provincial agencies. Regulators are often involved in the cleanup and redevelopment process, and new layers of complication mean success often hinges on covering every aspect of a brownfield site’s cleanup.
