Technical Report · Wed Mar 15 04:00:00 EST 1989

OSTI ID:7244754

The IBM Manassas Site (IBM) is on the National Priorities List. IBM was involved in the purification, storing, using, and recycling of chlorinated organic solvents. Preliminary on-site sampling results have identified various volatile organic compounds (VOCs). They include: tetrachloroethylene (PCE), (2 to 209,200 ppb in groundwater, ND to 7,974 ppb in soil), chlorobenzene (ND to 60 ppb in groundwater, ND to 56 ppb in soil), trichloroethylene (TCE), (ND to 2,500 ppb in groundwater, ND to 1,077 ppb in soil), trans-dichloroethylene (ND to 2,500 ppb in groundwater), chloroform (ND to 14 ppb in groundwater, ND to 21 ppb in soil), methylene chloride (ND to 42 ppb in groundwater, ND to 21 ppb in soil), 1,1-dichloroethane (ND to 31 ppb in groundwater), vinyl chloride (ND to 24 ppb in groundwater), and acetone (ND in groundwater, ND to 627 ppb in soil). The site is considered to be of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the possibility of human exposure to hazardous substances. Because information on the current status of the site was not reported, human exposure may occur via ingestion and direct contact with contaminated groundwater.
