Legislation could force the EPA to establish a health advisory and a national public drinking water regulation to limit trichloroethylene. [9] The 1998 film A Civil Action dramatizes the EPA lawsuit Anne Anderson, et al., v. Cryovac, Inc. concerning trichloroethylene contamination that occurred in Woburn, Massachusetts in the 1970s and 1980s.
Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a halocarbon with the formula C 2 HCl 3, commonly used as an industrial metal degreasing solvent. It is a clear, colourless, non-flammable, volatile liquid with a chloroform-like pleasant mild smell [3] and sweet taste. [9] Its IUPAC name is trichloroethene. Trichloroethylene has been sold under a variety of trade names.
The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) are air pollution standards issued by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The standards, authorized by the Clean Air Act, are for pollutants not covered by the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) that may cause an increase in fatalities or in serious, irreversible, or incapacitating illness.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), exposure to TCE at high levels can cause: Kidney cancer. Increased risks of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Increased risks of liver cancer.
Furthermore, occupational exposure banding has become an important component of the Hierarchy of Occupational Exposure Limits (OELs). [3] [4] The U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has developed a process that could be used to apply occupational exposure banding to a broader spectrum of occupational settings. [5]
The ban involves trichloroethylene, or TCE, a cancer-causing chemical that is common in manufacturing and can be found in water sources and properties around the world, as well as all consumer ...
The agency said it would allow lab use and proper disposal of TCE wastewater to continue for 50 years, assuming those protections are in place including a new inhalation exposure limit that is ...
