Question: Downgrading from the TCE spill there is a drinking water well where the concentration of TCE in the water is only 7 0 mu

Downgrading from the TCE spill there is a drinking water well where the concentration of TCE in the water is only 70\mu g/L. A 200 m3 batch of this water is pumped out, and is treated in a closed reactor by adding granular activated carbon (GAC).
c. The water must be treated to meet the U.S. EPA drinking water standard. What is the
MCL for TCE? (check Appendix F)
How much GAC mass is needed to reduce the TCE concentration to the MCL (see the GAC properties in Table 3.B.5 of your textbook)
