PCE has relatively low solubility in water and has medium-to-high mobility in soil. It tends to volatilize (evaporate) from surface environments; however, it may persist in subsurface soil and groundwater for months or years, depending on subsurface conditions. PCE in the Environment – PCE may be released to the environment through industrial emissions from dry cleaners and other industrial facilities that use PCE. Although releases are primarily to the atmosphere, PCE is also released to surface water and land in sewage sludges, in other liquid and solid waste, and through accidental spills or leaks. PCE and Human Health -- The effects of PCE on human health depend upon how much exposure occurs and the length and frequency of the exposure. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) evaluates long-term health concerns based on 30 years of continuous (24 hours per day) exposure. EPA has determined health-protecti
