October 4, 2007 - Trichloroethylene (TCE) has been found in another well in Broad Run Farms, two and a half years after authorities tested 68 properties and discovered the carcinogen in 22 wells, officials say.
The well is located on the front lawn of the 20000 block of Redrose Drive. TCE is a chemical used to remove grease from metal parts. Exposure to water with small amounts of TCE over long periods of time can cause liver and kidney damage, impaired immune system, function and impaired fetal development in pregnant women, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry said.
