Water has a different boiling point then the VOCs so boiling will gas-off those whose boiling points are below that of water (212°) See Distillation In municipal water treatment systems CVOCs (Chlorine based Volatile Organic Chemicals) are “stripped” by pumping contaminated water to the top of a tall tower called an air stripper, the water is atomized into a mist at the top separating the chemicals like TCE (Tri-CloroEthelene) which vent out the top while the water falls to the outlet
VOCs are carbon-contaning compounds that evaporate easily from water into the air at normal air temperatures. These include gasoline, solvents, pesticides and more. All are highly toxic and when unabated in your water can cause cancer or sudden death.

Many but not all of the water sources that have been contaminated by VOCs are near industrial, commercial areas, fuel stations, landfills and railroad tracks. Some are a result of intentional and accidental dumping or spills like industrial accidents, vehicle tanker crashes, and natural disasters like tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, and more.
