Trichloroethylene (TCE). You cannot see it or smell it. It could be in the air you breath, the water you drink, and the food you eat. It is a carcinogen and is linked to clusters of cancer and Parkinson’s. In Journal of Parkinson’s Disease, Dr. Ray Dorsey at the University of Rochester and eleven colleagues have published a research article asking the question “Is Trichlorethylene an invisible cause of Parkinson’s?” The authors go on to make a convincing case. Dr. Dorsey joins the podcast to explain the dangers of TCE, how it seeps into ground water, your home, schools, and office buildings, how to protect yourself, and where you can look to see if a TCE Superfund site is near where you live.  KEY LINKS BOOK: ENDING PARKINSON’S DISEASE; A PRESCRIPTION FOR ACTION JOURNAL OF PARKINSON’S DISEASE (SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL)  Trichloroethylene: An Invisible Cause of Parkinson’s Disease?
