TRICHLOROETHYLENE (TCE) CAUSES PARKINSON'S DISEASE
Individuals who were exposed to trichloroethylene (tce) and developed Parkinson's Disease are filing lawsuits against large industrial companies. The lawsuits allege the companies knew or should have known the chemical can cause cancer but failed to warn about the risks. Trichloroethylene (TCE) exposure lawsuits have resulted in multimillion-dollar verdicts and settlements.

LINKS BETWEEN TCE and PARKINSON'S DISEASE
TCE (trichloroethylene) is a chemical solvent that has been widely used in industries such as metal degreasing, dry cleaning, and electronics manufacturing. Exposure to TCE has been associated with various adverse health effects, including Parkinson's disease.
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects the nervous system and can cause tremors, stiffness, and difficulty with movement. Research has shown that exposure to TCE can damage the part of the brain that produces dopamine, a neurotransmitter that plays a critical role in the control of movement.
Furthermore, TCE exposure has been linked to the accumulation of alpha-synuclein protein in the brain, which is a hallmark of Parkinson's disease. This protein aggregation can cause nerve cell damage and death, leading to the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
Several studies have suggested a link between TCE exposure and an increased risk of developing Parkinson's disease. For example, a study published in the Annals of Neurology found that individuals exposed to TCE had a sixfold higher risk of developing Parkinson's disease compared to those who were not exposed.
In summary, TCE exposure can damage the brain's dopamine-producing cells and promote the accumulation of alpha-synuclein protein, which can increase the risk of developing Parkinson's disease.
TCE NORMAL USE CAUSES PARKINSON'S DISEASE
Trichloroethylene (TCE) exposure and its link to Parkinson's disease. TCE is a widely used industrial solvent that can have serious health implications if not handled and disposed of correctly.
Exposure to TCE can occur through inhalation of contaminated air, ingestion of contaminated water or food, and through skin contact with contaminated soil or water. Workers in industries such as metal degreasing, dry cleaning, and electronics manufacturing are particularly at risk of exposure to TCE. Additionally, individuals living near sites of TCE release or disposal can also be exposed to the chemical.
TCE exposure has been linked to various adverse health effects, including neurological and developmental disorders, liver and kidney damage, and cancer. Research has shown that exposure to TCE can also increase the risk of developing Parkinson's disease.

It is crucial to take measures to reduce TCE exposure to prevent health complications. Employers can implement effective ventilation systems and provide appropriate protective equipment to reduce the risk of exposure to workers. Additionally, the proper handling and disposal of TCE can prevent environmental contamination and limit public exposure.
If you believe you have been exposed to TCE, it is essential to seek medical attention immediately. Early detection and treatment can prevent further health complications.
In conclusion, TCE exposure can have serious health implications, including an increased risk of developing Parkinson's disease. It is vital to take measures to reduce exposure to TCE and seek medical attention if you believe you have been exposed.
TCE POLLUTES EVERYTHING IT TOUCHES
Exposure is not confined to those who work with the chemical. TCE pollutes outdoor air, taints groundwater, and contaminates indoor air. The molecule, like radon, evaporates from underlying soil and groundwater and enters homes, workplaces, or schools, often undetected. Despite widespread contamination and increasing industrial, commercial, and military use, clinical investigations of TCE and PD have been limited. Here, through a literature review and seven illustrative cases, we postulate that this ubiquitous chemical is contributing to the global rise of PD and that TCE is one of its invisible and highly preventable causes.
