Description
Tetrachloroethylene (PCE) is a prevalent environmental contaminant and probable human carcinogen and neurotoxicant, with health effects mainly observed among occupational groups with high exposure levels. It contaminates groundwater, soil, and indoor air, causing exposure in community settings. Martinsville, Indiana, is a midwestern working-class community overlying four PCE‑contaminated groundwater and soil sites. Six field sampling campaigns were conducted in 2024-2025, with the last one completed in November 2025.
