All of the problems associated with moisture vapor movement in a concrete slab will go away in time as the slab dries, as long as there is no source of additional water into the slab. Since the most common source is moisture in the ground beneath the slab, the solution is to completely take the ground out of the equation, by sealing the bottom of the slab with Vapor Barrier.
Viper II below-slab vapor barrier is the first line of defense against damaging water vapor and soil gas threats existing below the concrete slab. Viper II products are multi-layer (co-extruded), virgin polyolefin under-slab vapor barriers/retarders. The virgin resin used to manufacture Viper II contributes to its long-term stability and prevents the material from breaking down when used as a vapor barrier for concrete slabs.

ISI Building ProductsPERMINATOR® underslab vapor barrier is a new generation of polyolefin-based resin/chemical technology. PERMINATOR provides the vapor barrier industry with a highly effective, economical choice for helping to reduce the penetration of moisture and water vapor through the slab into the structure, thereby helping to reduce fungus, mildew, and mold growth. PERMINATOR also helps reduce radon gas from entering the structure.
