Development and Validation of Technologies for Remediation of 1,2,3-Trichloropropane in Groundwater

Purpose of Review 1,2,3-Trichloropropane (TCP) is a synthetic chemical with known and suspected human health effects associated with exposure. In response to the identification of TCP in environmental media, several states in the United States (US) have set maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for TCP in drinking water and guidance values for TCP in groundwater. Current treatment methods for TCP in groundwater are limited and can be cost prohibitive. The purpose of this review is to summarize the state of knowledge on TCP remedial technologies and describe efforts to develop and validate promising treatment methods.
