Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a volatile solvent that is used extensively in the automotive and metals industries for vapour degreasing and cold cleaning of metal parts. Canadians can be exposed to TCE through its presence in drinking water, air and food. Certain segments of the population could be exposed via contaminated soil or occupational settings.The maximum acceptable concentration (MAC) for trichloroethylene in drinking water is 0.005 mg/L (5 µg/L).
