Abstract | 1,1,2,2- Tetrachloroethane is one of a family of volatile, chlorinated, ethane and ethene compounds with a variety of commercial uses. 1,1,2,2-Tetrachloroethane is presently no longer manufactured in the United States. Some product continues to be released to the environment as a by-product in the synthesis of other chlorinated chemicals. Data from the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) from show a total release of 5420 pounds in 2001 compared to a release of 17547 pounds in 1988. This change is indicative of the decline in production and use. |
