Word: Trichloroethene
Where I read it: N.Y School to Review Environmental Tests in Medical Mystery by Phil Gast
Original Sentence: "About 30,000 gallons of trichloroethene (TCE), a potentially harmful
contaminant, also were released from two ruptured tank cars, the agency
said."
Dictionary Definition: (Noun). Trichloroethene, also known as TCE, is a manufactured, organic, colorless liquid chemical. TCE has a somewhat sweet odor and is
non-flammable at room temperature and will evaporate into the air.
Use of Word in a New Sentence: Trichloroethene can be a cause for a number of neurological illnesses.
