| | CLU-IN.ORG | Contaminant Focus: TRICHLOROETHYLENE (TCE), Overview |
 | | TCE breaks down more slowly in surface water and soil than in air, and it can pass through the soil into underground water. |
 | | TCE exposure can be associated with several adverse health effects, including neurotoxicity, immunotoxicity, developmental toxicity, liver toxicity, kidney toxicity, endocrine effects, and several forms of cancer. |
 | | TCE usually is remediated through pump and treat, using either air stripping or granular activated carbon, but there are many innovative cleanup methods—physical, chemical, thermal, and biological—that have been applied successfully to remove TCE from soil and ground water or to convert it into nonhazardous compounds. |
