• Is Parkinson’s disease, 'world’s fastest growing brain disease,’ mostly preventable? Study offers clues March 22, 2023 Researchers warn that a colorless chemical known as trichloroethylene (TCE) — which has been used to dry-clean clothes, degrease metals and decaffeinate coffee — may be linked to the dramatic increase in Parkinson’s disease (PD) cases. They recently published a series of seven cases in the Journal of Parkinson’s disease that illustrate TCE’s harmful health effects and the potential PD association.  "TCE…

• Research publication examines common chemical that may be associated with Parkinson’s March 17, 2023 This week a hypothesis article was published in the Journal of Parkinson’s proposing a chemical used in dry cleaning could potentially have an association with increased risk of developing Parkinson’s.  Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a colourless solvent that has been used for a variety of purposes since the 1920s including degreasing metals, certain cleaning products, glues and dry cleaning. TCE can…
• Chemical used in dry cleaning may be associated with Parkinson’s disease March 30, 2023 The chemical trichloroethylene (TCE) has been used across a number of industries: to decaffeinate coffee, degrease metal parts, remove stains and dry-clean clothing. It’s currently banned in the European Union and the US states New York and Minnesota, except for authorised industrial uses. Now, scientists led by Dr Ray Dorsey in the US have conducted new research claiming that TCE…
