35、015This page deliberately left blankvi The British Standards Institution 2016IntroductionToxic, asphyxiating and flammable and potentially explosive ground gases canenter buildings and other structures on and below the ground. They variouslypose potential risks to occupants and users, and to the str

36、uctures themselves.This British Standard is intended to be used by designers of gas protectionmeasures and by regulators involved in the assessment of design solutions. Itrecognizes that there are a number of factors requiring consideration whichaffect the sensitivity of a development to the effects

37、 of ground gas, and thatthere is a range of design solutions available for different situations. It isanticipated that specialist advice is needed in the assessment of the ground gasdata and in the risk assessment phase.This British Standard provides a framework, in line with Model procedures forthe

38、 management of land contamination, CLR11 2, which provides designerswith information about what is needed for an adequate ground gas siteinvestigation. It also provides an approach to determine appropriate ground gasparameters that can be used to identify a range of possible design solutions forprot

39、ection against the presence of methane and carbon dioxide on adevelopment site. The framework is not prescriptive and professional judgementmay be made as to the acceptability of risk and whether there might be benefitin undertaking more rigorous site assessment or adopting conservative measuresin d

40、esign. Emphasis is placed on the justification and recording of riskassessments and design decisions throughout the process.A variety of gases might be present in the ground naturally, or be present as aresult of contamination of the ground, or arise from buried wastes. In additionto the main compon

41、ents found in air (nitrogen and oxygen), ground gas cancontain other gases (e.g. methane, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogensulfide, ammonia, helium, neon, argon, xenon, radon, etc.). It can also containvolatile organic compounds (VOCs) or inorganic vapours (mercury).Methane (which is flammab

42、le and an asphyxiant) and carbon dioxide (which istoxic and an asphyxiant) can originate from a range of sources including: land-filled wastes; degradable material present within the soil matrix of made ground; peat and organic matter within alluvial deposits; migrating landfill leachate; spilled or

43、 leaked petroleum hydrocarbons; silt formed in water bodies (e.g. ponds, docks and rivers); some natural deposits (e.g. chalk and coal measure strata); and leaks of mains gas (natural gas) and sewer gas.Wherever biodegradable materials are present, microbial activity producesmethane and/or carbon di

44、oxide depending on whether conditions are aerobic oranaerobic. A number of additional trace gases can also be produced.Permanent gases such as methane, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide whichmight be present in coal measure strata can also emanate from old mineworkings (guidance is given in CIRIA R

45、eport 130 3). Combusting coal measurestrata, including waste in colliery spoil tips, can release carbon monoxide, as cansmouldering domestic waste. Under some circumstances, sulfur rich deposits suchas gypsum waste and some slags can release substantial quantities of hydrogensulfide; for example, wh

46、en sulfur-bearing wastes and domestic refuse are mixed.BRITISH STANDARD BS 8485:2015 The British Standards Institution 2016 11 ScopeThis British Standard gives recommendations on ground gas site characterizationand the choice of solutions for the design of integral gas protective measuresfor new bui

47、ldings to prevent entry of carbon dioxide and methane, and providea safe internal environment.This British Standard gives a process that can be used to demonstrate that risksposed by the potential or actual presence of carbon dioxide and methane havebeen addressed.This British Standard does not cove

48、r protection of new buildings against otherhazardous ground gases. Nor does this British Standard cover protection ofbuildings into which methane and carbon dioxide might be introduced by theactivities for which they are used (for example, water pumping stations).The retrospective design of protecti

49、on measures for completed buildings and thedesign of retrospective protection measures after completion of buildingconstruction are not covered in this British Standard.NOTE 1 Guidance on radon and VOCs is given in Annex G and Annex H.NOTE 2 This British Standard does not give recommendations on oxygen depletion.NOTE 3 The assessment and decision making stages are presented in the form ofprocess flow charts (Figure 3, Figure 5 and Figure 6
