1,2,3- TCP is a manmade chemical found at industrial or hazardous waste sites. It has been. used as a cleaning and degreasing solvent and also is associated with pesticide products. It is. a chlorinated hydrocarbon with high chemical stability.

1,2,3- TCP is a chlorinated hydrocarbon with high chemical stability. It is a manmade chemical found at industrial or hazardous waste sites. It has been used as a cleaning and degreasing solvent and also is associated with pesticide products. 1,2,3-TCP causes cancer in laboratory animals (US EPA, 2009).

The increased risk depends on. the 1,2,3-TCP concentration in the water. For water with a 1,2,3-TCP concentration of 5 ppt, the increased lifetime cancer risk is less than one cancer case per 100,000 people. For water. with a 1,2,3-TCP concentration of 70 ppt, the increased lifetime cancer risk is about one in.

TCE is a volatile organic compound (VOC) with the chemical formula C2HCl3. In the environmental industry, it is called a dense, non-aqueous phase liquid because it has a high density (1.465 g/ml), low solubility in water (1.070 g/L at 20oC), and it adsorbs onto carbon (Koc = 2.03-2.7).

TCE and PCE in Wells G and H. Trichloroethylene (TCE) and perchloroethylene (PCE) are toxic chlorinated hydrocarbons that were first discovered in wells G and H in May 1979. Water from well G contained 267 parts per billion (ppb) TCE and 21 ppb PCE. Water from well H contained 118 ppb TCE and 13 ppb PCE.

In 1992, 1,2,3-TCP was added to the list of chemicals known to the state to cause cancer, pursuant to California's Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act (Proposition 65). In 1999, we established a 0.005-micrograms per liter (μg/L) drinking water notification level for 1,2,3-trichloropropane (1,2,3-TCP).

TCP is considered a garbage chemical because it is a by-product of the plastics manufacturing process — it is not intentionally produced. By including TCP in their fumigants, which are widely used in California to kill nematodes, Dow and Shell Oil contaminated drinking water in communities throughout the San Joaquin Valley.

Dow's cancer-causing 'garbage' chemical in drinking water. For more than 50 years, Dow Chemical Company and Shell Oil knowingly included a highly toxic waste chemical in their fumigant pesticide products, rather than paying to dispose of it properly. The chemical, 1,2,3-trichloropropane (TCP), is a known carcinogen.
