Thanks Muthu. I could not find any resources suggesting that 1,2-DCP is a disinfection byproduct. Until fairly recently (1980s) it was used as an agricultural insecticide in the USA. Groundwater contamination can be found in agricultural areas.
It also used to be used in paint strippers.
Lin, where is this site? What are surrounding industries?

Maybe Lin should check the ambient air levels of 1,2 DCP.
Although has low Vap.Pressure.
Equilibrium will be achieved from air to liquid if air has consistently higher conc. of 1,2 DCP.
