TCE and PCE 1,1,2-trichloroethane,and vinyl chloride were found to exceed health rish-based screning level for drinking water. These volatile organic compoounds (VOCs) are suspected to have been released to ground water through spills.

These samples were from the area of a facility manufactured metal washer wringers, aluminum awnings, refrigerator shelves and metal projectile parts at a 23 acre site. The former owner ceased operations at the facility in the 1990 in Waterloo Iowa, 550 Ester Stree.

The U.S. EPA gave homeowner a notice indicating the finding and have received funding from BrownFields Cleanup grant to remove the dilapidated buildings.

They are also asking residents in the area to agree to testing the indoor air in their home.

Can anyone tell me what action I should take if my home is contaminated with TCE and PCE.
