TetraChloroEthylene - Parkinson
Posted: Tue Nov 15, 2011 1:12 pm
Dear Colleagues
It was reported that a common link was found amongst many people suffering from Parkinson's Disease. These had had exposure to TetraChloroEthylene or TCE - which is an industrial solvent.
Pls see http://www.cbc.ca/news/health/story/201 ... lvent.html
and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichloroethylene
If you have patients with PD, it may be an idea to check with them whether they have had any exposure to TCE.
Pls note that symptoms may take some 40 years to show themselves.
Regards
Soroush
