Manned Space Systems reported 112,900 lbs/yr of TCE releases to the 1988 TRI. By 1991 this was reduced to 100,400 lbs/yr (air emissions 55,000 lbs/yr). By 1995 air emissions were down to less than 4,000 lbs/yr and overall releases below the 10,000 lbs/yr TRI reporting threshold.TCE is a Class II Toxic Air Pollutant and both a suspected carcinogen and reproductive toxin with a TLV of only 100 ppm. Reducing TCE usage also reduced health and safety risks to employees.
