Draft Risk Evaluation of Perchloroethylene
Citation:
Draft Risk Evaluation of Perchloroethylene.
Impact/Purpose:
The focus of the public meeting is to peer review EPA’s draft risk evaluation of Perchloroethylene.
Description:
Perchloroethylene has a wide range of uses, including production of fluorinated compounds, and as a solvent in dry cleaning and vapor degreasing. A variety of consumer and commercial products use perchloroethylene such as adhesives (arts and crafts, as well as light repairs), aerosol degreasing, brake cleaners, aerosol lubricants, sealants, stone polish, stainless steel polish and wipe cleaners. Perchloroethylene is subject to federal and state regulations and reporting requirements. Leading applications of perchloroethylene include manufacturing, solvents for cleaning and degreasing, lubricants, adhesives and sealants, cleaning and furniture care products. The yearly aggregate production volume ranged from 388 to 324 million pounds between 2012 and 2015.
