Senator Clinton Urges EPA To Issue Protective Standard For TCE 


Washington, DC ? Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton sent a letter to the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today calling on them to issue a
health-protective "interim standard" for trichloroethylene (TCE) vapor
intrusion in order to protect the health and well-being of our
communities. Endicott, Hopewell Junction and Ithaca are known to be
contaminated with volatile organic compounds where TCE is also known to
be present. 

In addition to Senator Clinton, six other senators signed onto this
letter including Senators Barbara Boxer, Christopher Dodd, Frank
Lautenberg, Joseph Lieberman, Gordon Smith, and Ron Wyden.
