Bradford White Corp

Property owners notified: 102. Date notified: Sept. 22, 2003

Contaminants:

Cis-1,2-dichloroethylene. Used as a solvent for waxes, resins, and acetylcellulose; in the extraction of rubber; as a refrigerant; in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and artificial pearls and in the extraction of oils and fats from fish and meat; as a chemical intermediate for making chlorinated compounds.

Possible dangers: Potentially causes central nervous system depression from short-term exposures. Potential to cause liver, circulatory and nervous system damage from long-term exposure. Not enough evidence to determine if carcinogen.

Vinyl chloride. Used to make polyvinyl chloride (PVC). PVC is used to make a variety of plastic products, including pipes, wire and cable coatings, and packaging materials. Vinyl chloride is also known as chloroethene, chloroethylene, and ethylene monochloride.

Possible dangers: Known carcinogen. Some people who have breathed vinyl chloride for several years have changes in the structure of their livers. People are more likely to develop these changes if they breathe high levels of vinyl chloride. Some people who work with vinyl chloride have nerve damage and develop immune reactions. The lowest levels that produce liver changes, nerve damage, and immune reaction in people are not known. Some workers exposed to very high levels of vinyl chloride have problems with the blood flow in their hands. Their fingers turn white and hurt when they go into the cold.

Trichloroethene (TCE)Also known as Trichloroethylene. A nonflammable, colorless liquid with a somewhat sweet odor and a sweet, burning taste. It is used mainly as a solvent to remove grease from metal parts, but it is also an ingredient in adhesives, paint removers, typewriter correction fluids, and spot removers.

Not thought to occur naturally in the environment. However, it has been found in underground water sources and many surface waters as a result of the manufacture, use, and disposal of the chemical.
Possible dangers: Potential carcinogen.

Notes: Chemicals migrating to the southwest. Tests conducted at monitoring wells off-site since 1999. Most contamination being captured through clean-up system. Levels have dropped since start of clean-up.
