Exposure to 1,2-dichloroethane, a manufactured industrial chemical, usually occurs by breathing contaminated air in workplaces, such as factories, that use 1,2-dichloroethane. Breathing or ingesting high levels of 1,2-dichloroethane can cause damage to the nervous system, liver, kidneys, and lungs and may cause cancer. This substance has been found in at least 570 of the 1,585 National Priorities List sites identified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
