Occurrence and Implications of Selected Chlorinated Solvents in Ground Water and Source Water in the United States and in Drinking Water in 12 Northeast and Mid-Atlantic States, 1993-2002 - Usgs Scientific Investigations Report 2005-5268 (Paperback)

The U.S. Geological Survey has collected or compiled data on select chlorinated solvents in samples of ground water, source water, and drinking water. The water samples were collected during 1993-2002. Data on solvents in ground water and source water were available for the conterminous United States, Alaska, and Hawaii. Data on solvents in drinking water only were available for 12 Northeast and Mid-Atlantic States. The occurrence and distribution of four solvents were examined in these data sources-methlyene chloride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, tetrachloroethene, and trichloroethene.
