The LA Times Coverage of Trichloroethylene (TCE)

The LA Times two-part article on trichloroethylene has brought me back to the blogosphere out of day-job exile. I'm pleased the topic is getting some coverage in a major newspaper. I was intrigued by Dr. Ozonoff's analogy that inaction on reducing TCE exposure could be a WTC disaster in slow motion, a vivid way of depicting the potential risks (risk assessment needs to make better use of imagery for displaying and communicating health risks). It's prompted me to start doing the arithmetic to explore it more fully.

But as a student of TCE regulatory history, reading the Times series was like looking at my reflection in a fun-house mirror. Stay tuned for examples.
