What happens to air that escapes the ISS?

Generally, what happens to air that escapes the ISS? Does it eventually get reabsorbed into Earth's atmosphere? Or is it stuck up in orbit or escape our planet?

The ISS is in orbit, but it's closer to Earth than you probably think. There's still a tiny bit of air resistance from the upper atmosphere at that altitude, so anything without rockets (which the ISS has) will gradually slow down and fall back down to Earth. So any air that escapes the ISS will simply "fall" back down again. It will take a while, but eventually it'll just mix with the rest of the atmosphere.
