The report provides the comprehensive risk assessment of the substance tetrachloroethylene. It has been prepared by the United Kingdom in the frame of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 793/93 on the evaluation and control of the risks of existing substances, following the principles for assessment of the risks to humans and the environment, laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1488/94. This part of the evaluation considers the emissions and the resulting exposure to the environment in all life cycle steps. Following the exposure assessment, the environmental risk characterisation for each protection goal in the aquatic, terrestrial and atmospheric compartment has been determined. The environmental risk assessment concludes that there is concern for the risk of harm to plants from air emissions from sites producing and processing tetrachloroethylene as an intermediate. Based on site-specific data the conclusion relates to one site. There is at present no concern for the aquatic compartment (including sediment and STP), the terrestrial compartment and secondary poisoning for tetrachloroethylene. It also applies to the air compartment for dry cleaning and metal cleaning for direct effects on plants. The conclusion also applies to the regional aquatic and terrestrial compartments for (trichloroacetic acid) TCA formed through the degradation of tetrachloroethylene in air
