I read this the other day and thought it was fascinating. I remember when it first hit the news and was wondering what kind of environmental contaminant they were going to unearth. I would not have expected something like this, especially because the symptoms seemed so severe.
Oh, and as an interesting side note trichloroethylene (TCE) contamination is more common than you might thing. It was (still is?) a common solvent used in dry cleaning, and is very stable if it makes it underground so any unscrupulous dry cleaner could create a plume simply by throwing their waste solvent in a ditch out back.
