Vapor intrusion (VI) is the migration of volatile chemicals from the subsurface into overlying buildings. The chemicals associated with VI are the following:
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
- Chlorinated Hydrocarbons, e.g., TCE, PCE, 1,2-DCA, Vinyl Chloride, etc. – drycleaners, manufacturers
- Benzene & Other Volatile Petroleum Constituents
- Methane – in certain areas of U.S. (e.g., LA Basin)
- Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds (SVOCs) - Less Common
