TCE can enter your body by breathing air in and around your home which has been contaminated with TCE vapors. You can also breathe in TCE vapors during bathing, showering, or laundering clothes with contaminated household water. TCE can enter your body by drinking contaminated water and from skin contact with liquid products that contain TCE. If you touch contaminated soil, only a small amount will be absorbed through the skin.
