Trichloroethylene (TCE) was chosen for evaluation for the following reasons: (1) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classified TCE as a probable human carcinogen, (2) there are a wide variety of sources in California; and (3) TCE is mobile in the environment and is not naturally removed or detoxified at a rate that would significantly reduce public exposure.
