Table 4. Estimated chloroethene mass degradation rates and fluxes to surface water at Operable Unit 1, Naval Undersea Warfare Center, Division Keyport, Washington, 1999–2000 and 2004.

[All values are in grams per day. Abbreviations: TCE, trichloroethene; cis-DCE, cis-1,2-dichloroethene; VC, vinyl chloride; g/d, gram per day; <, actual value is less than value shown]
