Abstract Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are common in contaminated sites, presenting complex environmental behaviors and high risks for investigation and risk assessment. This paper outlines the major environmental processes of VOCs partitioning and transport in soil, followed by a review of VOCs investigation techniques, risk screening methods, vapor intrusion models, and integrated VI risk assessment methods using multi-lines of evidence. Additionally, the main issues in investigating and assessing VOCs contaminated sites in China are compared to international lessons, from which valuable insights can be gained. Finally, recommendations for improving the investigation and risk assessment of VOCs contaminated sites in China are also provided.
