Could Vapor Intrusion Issues Impact Puerto Rico’s High-Rise Buildings?
Vapor intrusion is the process by which volatile chemicals migrate to the indoor air above a contaminated site. This generally occurs when there is movement of volatile chemicals from contaminated groundwater or soil into an overlying building. These types of cases can occur anywhere that buildings are constructed on a contaminated site or when contaminants migrate underground from one area to ...
