Speaking at a conference of state environmental regulators (ASTSWMO), Mary Cooke, an official in EPAs Federal Facilities Restoration and Reuse Office (FFRRO), announced first-time provisional EPA guidance for TCE contamination when it causes indoor air contamination. According to Cooke's presentation, the provisional guidance will adopt California's safe exposure level, or inhalation unit risk value, for TCE of approximately 1 microgram per cubic meter (ug/m3) -- a level significantly more stringent than what EPA had previously recommended. Currently, no toxicity value exists for the chemical in EPAs Integrated Risk Information System database of toxicological risk values.
