The Properties of the Deadly Toxin: TCE



Courtesy of the EPA

TCE has some basic properties. They are:

  • Trichloroethylene is a nonflammable colorless liquid with a sweet odor similar to ether or chloroform.
  • The odor threshold for trichloroethylene is 28 ppm.
  • The chemical formula for trichloroethylene is C2HCl3, and the molecular weight is 131.40 g/mol.
  • The vapor pressure for trichloroethylene is 74 mm Hg at 25 °C, and it has a log octanol/water partition coefficient (log Kow) of 2.42.
  • Trichloroethylene is not a persistent chemical in the atmosphere; its half-life in air is about 7 days.
