Vapor intrusion is the process by which harmful vapors and gases, such as radon, methane, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), enter buildings through cracks and gaps in the foundation and other parts of the building envelope. These vapors and gases can accumulate in indoor spaces, leading to health risks for occupants, including respiratory problems, headaches, and even cancer.
