Researchers in a recent study believe the chemical trichloroethylene (TCE) — which has been used to dry-clean clothes, degrease metals and decaffeinate coffee — may be linked to the increase in Parkinson’s.
Dr. Michael Okun, Norman Fixel Institute for Neurological Diseases co-director, weighed in with Fox News about research linking TCE to Parkinson’s.
"The collective evidence supporting a strong association between TCE exposure and Parkinson’s disease continues to accumulate. Limiting exposure to TCE…could have the potential to lessen our future burden of Parkinson’s disease," said Okun.
“There are many research groups currently examining the association and we anticipate more information will be available soon.”
