Tetrachloroethylene

The chemical conversation is not only about some faraway industrial site It may also be about everyday habits that felt harmless.

Now, the chemicals often discussed in this area include solvents like TCE, triochloroethylene, and PCE, also called PERC or perclothaline, I can never say these words, which has been commonly associated with dry cleaning.

Now, these are chemicals that have been used in cleaning, degreasing, industrial work, and dry cleaning operations.

And researchers, including people like Dr. Ray Dorsey, have been raising the alarm that these kinds of environmental exposures may be part of the Parkinson's conversation.
