TCE caused my Parkinsons - I am sure of it. I worked in an unventilated calibration lab using Trichloroethylene in 1990. Now I have PD.

I also had significant exposure to Trichloroethylene as part of a solvent cement in plastics fabrication. The package warning recently includes "suspected to cause genetic defects"! I still have a can on my desk ( double bagged) . There is a lot of evil in this world, this one seems an easy exorcism! Get it done.
