Abstract
Many studies have been carried out to modellate the behaviour of volatile organic compounds in the soil. Until now, only few studies have been conducted on sites with an allready existing soil pollution. These studies are necessary for validation of the models for practical use. A part of a study on the relation between soil pollution and indoor air pollution in 77 polluted houses and 20 reference houses (Fast et al. 1988), was carried out to evaluate the use of a soil transport model for describing the behaviour and transport of volatile organic compounds (VOC) through the unsaturated zone of the soil.
