A space station is a big pressurized can in a near vacuum. Think similar to a can of air freshener in your house. More pressure inside the can than outside.

If you punch a hole in the can all the pressure inside moves to the outside very quickly. If you do this with the air freshener, all the stuff in the can dissipates into the air until after a while it’s nearly undetectable.
