Vapor Intrusion & Extraction

What is Vapor Intrusion?

Over the past several years, vapor intrusion has become an emerging focus of federal, state, and local environmental agencies and has gained attention for potential indoor exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Vapor intrusion occurs when contamination in soil or groundwater volatizes and enters an overlying building as a gas, creating indoor air quality problems and may pose a significant health risk to individuals in both residential and commercial settings. The contaminated air vapors seep through openings or cracks in foundations and utility conduits. They can even be drawn into a building due to pressure differentials from heating and air conditioning systems.
