1,2,3 TRICHLOROPROPANE (TCP): ECOLOGICAL EFFECTS

1,2,3-Trichloropropane has a relatively low soil adsorption capacity, which makes it easy for the chemical to leach through soil and into groundwater, where it can remain for extended periods because of its slow degradation rate. Nevertheless, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), TPA is unlikely to become concentrated in plants, fish, or other aquatic species, due to it having a low bioconcentration factor.
