Gas Permeability

Gas permeability refers to the ability of a material, such as soil, rock, or membrane, to allow gases to pass through it. It measures how easily gas can flow through the spaces or pores within the material. This property is important in various fields, including environmental science, engineering, and geology, as it affects processes like gas migration in the atmosphere or underground, the efficiency of gas storage, and the performance of barriers in waste management. Understanding gas permeability helps in assessing how pollutants spread and in designing systems for gas extraction or containment.
