Array ( [name] => Offgassing [title] => Off-gassing [content] => Off-gassing, sometimes also referred to as "out-gassing", is the process by which substances in liquid or even solid form release some of their content to the air in gaseous form.

When dealing with hazardous chemical spills, the airborne results of off-gassing can also present a danger to those handling the incident and measures should be taken. Respiratory protection will reduce the risk to the individual whereas reducing the level of off-gassing, either by containing the substance or introducing an agent that restricts the process, will reduce the exposure to everyone in the vicinity.
