Volatile organic compounds can be detected by hydrogeologists in the field or labs because of the odor of the vapors emitted from the groundwater and/or soil samples.
<h3>What are volatile substances?</h3>
Volatile substances are substances which can easily vaporize or change to gaseous state.
Volatile substances can either be solids or liquids but are mostly liquids.
Example of volatile substances include ether, petrol, chocolate.
The presence of volatile substances can be detected by the gases they release which may have characteristic odors.
Therefore, volatile organic compounds can be detected by hydrogeologists in the field or labs because of the odor of the vapors emitted from the groundwater and/or soil samples.
