from what I understand this is not the first time... and there is a huge lobby behind keeping it

[JayPwP in reply to gomelgo]

Maybe some of the lobbyists are now PWPs...

[gomelgo in reply to JayPwP]

I wonder if even that would sway things ...

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.

TCE & other toxic chemicals were on board to be restricted / banned by the EPA, but when an industry guy was made EPA head, he reversed all that. e360.yale.edu/features/how-...
