from the article:

> TCE is highly persistent in soil and groundwater; inhalation through vapor from these hidden sources is likely the prime route of exposure today. However, it’s detectable in many foods, in up to one-third of U.S. drinking water, and in breast milk, blood, and urine.

the groundwater route still seems pretty troubling



It’s also denser than water and somewhat hydrophobic so if I understand correctly it tends to settle at the bottom of aquifers.


somehow still in 1/3rd of drinking water tho
