Vuotopaikasta

Vuotopaikasta is a Finnish term meaning “from the leak site.” It is the elative form of vuotopaikka, a compound of vuoto (leak or spill) and paikka (place). The word is used in technical and official contexts to indicate the source location of a leak, spill, or contaminant.

In practical use, vuotopaikasta appears in reports and field notes when describing data or actions tied to the source area of leakage. For example, a sentence such as “Vuotopaikasta otettiin näyte” translates to “A sample was taken from the leak site.” The form is part of a system of case endings in Finnish; related forms include vuotopaikkaa (accusative), vuotopaikoista (plural elative), and other cases used to refer to the same base location.

The term is most commonly encountered in environmental monitoring, industrial safety, and emergency response documentation, where specifying the exact location of a leak is important for assessment, remediation, and reporting. While its primary usage is literal, vuotopaikasta can also appear in more technical or procedural language within safety protocols and surveillance records.
