This graphic illustrates how vapor intrusion can affect humans and life in nearby areas where VOCs are being used. If not realized or handled, VOCs can have harmful effects on the health and wellbeing of nearby residents.
Vapor intrusion (VI) is the process by which chemicals, usually volatile organic compounds (VOCs), in soil or groundwater migrate to indoor air above or around a contaminated site.[1] The process of VI has been studied more recently in relation to its effects on humans and the environment, and is becoming more regulated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA).
