Leaking Underground Storage Tanks (LUSTs) are a major environmental concern, as they can release hazardous substances into the ground, posing risks to both the environment and human health.
Parts Per Million (PPM) is a unit used to measure the concentration of a substance in a mixture or solution, often used in environmental science, chemistry, and real estate for analyzing air, water, and soil contamination levels.
PERC, or perchloroethylene, also known as tetrachloroethylene, is a chemical commonly used in dry cleaning that is highly toxic and can easily contaminate groundwater if it seeps through the ground.
An Underground Storage Tank (UST) is a tank and its underground piping with at least 10% of its combined volume buried underground, primarily used to store liquids such as fuel products, industrial chemicals, or waste.
