Air monitoring systems exists for your purposes.  Clearly, the issue is cost
and willingness of regulatory agency and party responsible for the
remedition to implement such a system.  Generally, I believe in a
comprehensive system of  on-site controls to prevent any migration off-site
such as active dust controls, neutralizer systems coupled with on-site
perimeter and off-site air monitors.  It is crucial that both on-site and
off-site monitors be used to confirm or deny whether the detection of
contaminants on an off-site monitor relates to an activity on-site.  The
critical question is the number of contaminants that can be monitored.  I'm
assuming that the primary concern is hazardous volatile or semi-volatile
organic contaminants.  Monitoring for each individual volatile or
semi-volatile organic contaminant can be very expensive.  You can use a
group parameter - such as total organics as a basis for assessing impacts.
This can be done via continuous, automated logging system. .

Hope this is helpful

I have a client approximately 1 mile from a hazardous waste disposal
facility.  There have been a number of releases of liquids at the site
and my client (the community) asked the question of whether it is being
exposed during the periods when there have been releases.  So I have an
important query: does anyone know of an air monitoring system at
disposal sites (with some treatment of groundwater liquids) that is used
to continuously or intermittently monitor air for a broad spectrum of
contaminants.

Thanks for your response.
