Legacy 1,2,3-trichloropropane contamination: a systematic review of treatments

1,2,3-Trichloropropane (TCP), a suspected human carcinogen, is a widespread contaminant that leaches into groundwater, where it persists. This systematic review of studies examines treatment technologies for TCP contamination. A four-database search yielded 1,160 papers, 36 of which met the eligibil...
