OSTI ID:5883291

Stevens, Y W; McCarroll, N E; Kearns, E A

The Statement was prepared to give you information about tetrachloroethylene and to emphasize the human health effects that may result from exposure to it. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has identified 1,300 sites on its National Priorities List (NPL). Tetrachloroethylene has been found in at least 714 of these sites. As EPA evaluates more sites, the number of sites at which tetrachloroethylene is found may change. The information is important for one to know because tetrachloroethylene may cause harmful health effects and because these sites are potential or actual sources of human exposure to tetrachloroethylene.
