The Division has prepared a table listing indoor air remediation goals and action levels for a number of volatile organic compounds to be used at sites where vapor intrusion may be a concern. This was prompted in response to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) having released a new assessment of the health effects of trichloroethene (TCE) and tetrachloroethene (PCE), two commonly used degreasing solvents.

When a release of a hazardous material or other substance occurs to the environment, there are a number of reporting and notification requirements that must be followed by the company or individual responsible for the release. Environmental releases must be reported to the appropriate authorities so that necessary response actions are taken in a timely fashion to ensure maximum protection of human health and the environment.
