Contaminant study of Groundwater in Texas using ArcGIS Modeling Tool TCE in Ground Water By Linlin Wang
Trichloroethylene (TCE) What is Trichloroethylene? What happens to trichloroethylene when it enters the environment? How might we be exposed to trichloroethylene? How can trichloroethylene affect our health? How has the federal government made recommendations to protect human health?
TCE Concentration Distribution
EPA Defined Groundwater Contamination EPA Limit: >17ppm is contamination
Where Exceeds EPA’s Drinking Water Limit? EPA Drinking Water Limit: <0.005ppm
Public Use Groundwater Source -Drinking water -Recreation
Identify Public Use Groundwater that Exceeds EPA Limit
Where the most terrible thing happens?
Possibility Study of Cancer Rate Related to TCE Distribution in Groundwater
Conclusions Conclusion: Future Work -Large Range from 0~240 ppm -Central and East Problem -Possibility of Cause of Cancer Future Work -Find out Source of TCE -Investigate the Possible Route of TCE Transport
