挥发性有机化合物(VOCs)是一组芳香或氯化有机化合物，通常存在于制成品中，具有较高的蒸汽压，因此在室温下很容易蒸发。虽然对空气中的VOCs进行了很好的研究，并为公共卫生问题提供了见解，但我们建议，地下VOCs和相关的蒸汽入侵过程可能与公共健康同等相关，甚至更相关。城市景观中地下挥发性有机化合物的持久性、迁移、修复和对人类健康的影响，尽管有证据表明存在广泛的污染，但研究相对较少。本文基于对不同动物模型的研究，探讨了地下水和土壤中VOCs的地下运动和修复的科学状况，以及这些鲜为人知的污染物暴露途径和健康结果之间的联系，并描述了这些污染物在人类健康中的作用，重点是出生结果，特别是低出生体重和早产。最后，这项审查为今后的研究提出了建议，以解决知识差距，这不仅对于解决后工业化城市的健康差距和环境不公正问题，而且对于保护和保存关键的淡水资源也是至关重要的。
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a group of aromatic or chlorinated organic chemicals commonly found in manufactured products that have high vapor pressure, and thus vaporize readily at room temperature. While airshed VOCs are well studied and have provided insights into public health issues, we suggest that belowground VOCs and the related vapor intrusion process could be equally or even more relevant to public health. The persistence, movement, remediation, and human health implications of subsurface VOCs in urban landscapes remain relatively understudied despite evidence of widespread contamination. This review explores the state of the science of subsurface movement and remediation of VOCs through groundwater and soils, the linkages between these poorly understood contaminant exposure pathways and health outcomes based on research in various animal models, and describes the role of these contaminants in human health, focusing on birth outcomes, notably low birth weight and preterm birth. Finally, this review provides recommendations for future research to address knowledge gaps that are essential for not only tackling health disparities and environmental injustice in post-industrial cities, but also protecting and preserving critical freshwater resources.
