Picatinny Toxics SiteTrichloroethylene (TCE), which is a common cleaning solvent and degreaser, has contaminated a sand and gravel aquifer near Picatinny, New Jersey. Investigations have focused on measuring natural processes that are removing TCE from ground water (such as degradation by microbes and loss as vapors to the atmosphere), identifying causes for the persistence of TCE in the aquifer, and field testing new remediation technologies.Related Headlines
