1,1-Dichloroethylene in Meridian Florida Water

Unhealthy Levels of 1,1-Dichloroethylene in the Water Supply of Meridian Florida Homes

1,1-dichloroethylene is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that can enter groundwater when certain industrial solvents or related chemicals are present. Because it volatilizes easily, the contaminant can affect both water and the air inside your home during showers, laundry or dishwashing. It usually can’t be seen, tasted or smelled, so testing is the reliable way to detect it. If testing shows elevated levels, many Meridian homeowners choose to address the issue where water comes into the house to protect indoor air and tap water.

VOCs such as 1,1-dichloroethylene are often present at very low concentrations that can fluctuate, so clear water at the tap isn’t a guarantee of safety. Families in Meridian who want consistent protection for cooking, bathing, and other daily uses often opt for whole-house treatment rather than treating a single faucet. A point-of-entry solution keeps treated water flowing to bathrooms, the kitchen and appliances so the whole household benefits from the same reduction in exposure.
