Vapor Intrusion Toolkit
Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)
This online resource includes the PFAS Technical and Regulatory Guidance Document, PFAS Fact Sheets and Explainer Videos, Training Module Videos and external tables of data and information prepared by the ITRC PFAS Team.
Biological Contaminants of Emerging Concern (BioCEC)
This guidance is designed for state environmental and health agencies, consultants, and other stakeholders who need practical tools to identify, evaluate, and manage biological contaminants found in water, soil, air, and waste.
Reuse of Solid Mining Waste
The ITRC Reuse of Solid Mining Waste training and guidance document is geared towards state regulators and environmental consultants, mining and manufacturing stakeholders, community and tribal stakeholders, and other who have in interest in the potential reuse of solid mining waste.
QUEST Knowledge Map (Archive)
(Archived as of December 2024) – The ITRC QUEST Knowledge Map was an interactive tool for navigating ITRC’s environmental guidance documents and resources, allowing users to filter through ITRC’s vast library based on concise subjects. The Knowledge Map presented a “roadmap” of where to find key environmental topic and concept information within the ITRC guidance and resources library, and is organized by the Assessment and Remediation phases of environmental cleanups.
6PPD and 6PPD-q
This ITRC document provides information about 6PPD and 6PPD-quinone (6PPD-q) that can help inform future policies and regulations regarding these chemicals.
Passive Sampling Technology Update
The Passive Sampling Update Guidance Document combines the previous ITRC Passive Sampling documents (DSP-1, DSP-3. DSP-4, DSP-5) along with updates to the technologies into one comprehensive document that evaluates 24 passive sampling technologies.
Microplastics Outreach Toolkit
This toolkit is a companion to the ITRC Microplastics Guidance to help regulators and others explain issues surrounding microplastics to a variety of audiences. The toolkit includes general information on outreach along with fact sheets, presentations and other outreach items aimed at different audiences.
Contaminants of Emerging Concern Framework
This guidance will help environmental regulatory agencies and other stakeholders identify examples of CEC monitoring programs; evaluate potential hazards; communicate risk from CEC to the public; and understand how laboratory analytical methods can be used in the identification process.
Ethylene Oxide Emissions
This resource is intended to inform interested parties about important regulatory developments; technical issues surrounding sampling, measurements, and analysis; and effective communication of EtO-related issues.
