Abstract

Levels of trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene and p‐dichlorobenzene in several groundwaters have been determined. Generally, the levels were below 2 μg/1 for the former two compounds, and below 0.1 μg/1 for the latter compound. However, much higher levels (up to 70 μg/1 of trichloroethylene and 4 μg/1 of tetrachloroethylene) were found at two sites. These high levels are likely to be due to gross pollution of the aquifer.
