A common industrial solvent, 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCA), is one of the most frequently found contaminants in ground water. The fate of TCA in ground water is complicated by the different possible abiotic and biotic transformations that it may undergo. Abiotic transformation of TCA can result in a mixture of 1,1-dichloro-ethylene (1,1-DCE) and acetic acid, as shown by others. This study confirms that TCA can be biotransformed by reductive dehalogenation to 1,1-dichloroethane (1,1-DCA) and chloroethane (CA) under methanogenic conditions. Also, reductive dehalogenation of 1,1-DCE to vinyl chloride (VC) is confirmed. This study demonstrates that these transformations can occur stoichiometrically. In addition, (/sup 14/C)TCA, (/sup 14/C)-1,1-DCA, (/sup 14/C)-1,1-DCE, (/sup 14/C)CA, and (/sup 14/C)VC were at least partially mineralized to /sup 14/CO/sub 2/ under similar methanogenic conditions.23 references, 3 figures, 4 tables.
