Inside Baseball: Vapor Intrusion at the Navy Yard Mill, Dracut,  
Massachusetts
by Lenny Siegel
February, 2013

For several years, children who practiced baseball indoors and the  
adults who coached and watched them were exposed to unacceptable  
levels of trichloroethylene (TCE) and tetrachloroethylene (PCE)  
vapors at the Former Navy Yard Mill site in Dracut, Massachusetts.  
Not only was the property owner’s effort to reduce contamination  
inadequate, but building occupants (ballplayers, parents, etc.) were  
unaware of any contamination until the facility was closed in 2012.
