TRICHLOROETHYLENE (TCE) SITES

The following sites are either known to have used or likely used vapor degreasing pre-1990 or used TCE in other job activities and thus have a much greater potential for significant worker exposure to TCE than other sites during that period: (at sites in bold, TCE was also used extensively in metal cleaning).
