Regulations on Chlorine-Containing Solvents Because of its favorable health and environmental properties, trans-1, 2-dichloroethylene (t-DCE) is subject to less stringent regulations compared to the other chlorinated solvents. U.S. regulations affecting 3M ™ Novec™ 73DE Engineered Fluid include volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions of t-DCE and reporting requirements if t-DCE is emitted into water or if a spill of 1176 lbs. or more of Novec 73DE fluid occurs. t-DCE is not considered a Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP).
