Contaminant study of Groundwater in Texas using ArcGIS Modeling Tool TCE in Ground Water By Linlin Wang
What is Trichloroethylene? What happens to trichloroethylene when it enters the environment? How might we be exposed to trichloroethylene? How can trichloroethylene affect our health? How has the federal government made recommendations to protect human health? Trichloroethylene (TCE)
EPA Limit: >17ppm is contamination EPA Defined Groundwater Contamination
EPA Drinking Water Limit: <0.005ppm Where Exceeds EPA’s Drinking Water Limit?
Public Use Groundwater Source -Drinking water -Recreation
Possibility Study of Cancer Rate Related to TCE Distribution in Groundwater
Conclusion: -Large Range from 0~240 ppm -Central and East Problem -Possibility of Cause of Cancer Future Work -Find out Source of TCE -Investigate the Possible Route of TCE Transport Conclusions
