17th November 2011 - New research TRICHLOROETHYLENE MULTIPLIES THE RISK OF PARKINSON'S DISEASE Annals of Neurology [2011] Nov 14 [Epub ahead of print] (S.M.Goldman, P.J.Quinlan, G.W.Ross, C.Marras, C.Meng, G.S.Bhudhikanok, K.Comyns, M.Korell, A.R.Chade, M.Kasten, B.Priestley, K.L.Chou, H.H.Fernandez, F.Cambi, J.W.Langston, C.M.Tanner) Complete abstract
A previous study showed that workers with workstations adjacent to the source of Trichloroethylene and who were subjected to chronic inhalation and dermal exposure from handling Trichloroethylene soaked metal parts all had Parkinson's disease. Lesser chronic respiratory exposure to Trichloroethylene led to many features of Parkinsonism. For more information go to the Complete abstract.

Exposure
to the
solvent Trichloroethylene has been found to
multiply the risk of Parkinson's Disease by six times.
Results were similar for estimates of exposure duration and cumulative lifetime
exposure. Trichloroethylene is a solvent that is used extensively in industry
and the military and is a common environmental contaminant. It has been used to
extract vegetable oils, in coffee decaffeination, and in the preparation of
flavouring extracts from hops and spices. Much of
its use has been banned because of toxicity. Trichloroethylene is the most
common organic contaminant in groundwater, and so can cause toxicity via the
water supply. Around 30% of U.S. water supplies are contaminated by
Trichloroethylene. For more information go to
