In order for the public to better understand the threat and the dangers of vapor intrusion, we've reviewed recent studies on the subject and offer that information here, said an attorney at the personal injury law firm of Weitz & Luxenberg.

Over the last 20 years, several studies have been conducted to determine the extent of public exposures to organic and man-made chemicals. Most of these studies on vapor intrusion employed personal air monitors that added up exposures from all locations visited by the subjects. However, many of these studies also included dedicated indoor air sampling, where measurements were taken in an indoor fixed location.

Most of these studies were done in urban areas throughout the United States, but some studies were conducted in other countries. In total, over 1,000 homes were sampled. While small contributions from outdoor air concentrations of volatiles can occur, indoor levels are frequently much higher due to indoor sources of these chemicals. <BR>Therefore, the results from these various studies indicate the range of expected volatile concentrations resulting from the use of consumer products, the presence of home furnishings, building materials, and activities such as smoking and cooking.
