Identification Of Chlorinated Solvent Sources In The Indoor Air Of Private Residences Around Hill Air Force Base, Utah, Andrew Jensen Hall
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Volatile chlorinated solvents such as trichloroethylene (TCE), 1,2 dichloroethane (1,2 DCA), and perchloroethylene (PCE) have been identified in the indoor air of residences located near Hill Air Force Base (AFB), Utah. These vapors can originate from either volatilization of contaminates from shallow contaminated groundwater and transport into residences or from sources within the residence. The focus of the thesis was the development of a testing strategy for determining sources of TCE, 1,2 DCA, and PCE in the indoor air of residences near Hill AFB.
Eight residences were selected for this study by Hill AFB based on prior detections of TCE, …
