This review provides an overview of 1,2,3-trichloropropane, including use, physicochemical properties, fate and transport, health effects, and current regulation. The states of treatment technologies for TCP are detailed, including granular activated carbon, in situ chemical reduction (ISCR), in situ bioremediation (ISB), and chemical oxidation. Case studies and notable findings are described for ISCR and ISB. While knowledge gaps remain for ISCR and ISB, results to date for these technologies are encouraging.
