Soil gas and groundwater contained <br /> elevated levels of Volatile Organic Compounds(VOCs). <br /> Toxic Substances <br /> What Are PAHs and VOCs? <br /> ,0111701 a to PAHs: are chemicals that are formed during the incomplete burning of coal,oil and gas, <br /> garbage, or other organic substances like tobacco or charbroiled meat.
