New Study Links Air Pollution with Higher Parkinson’s Risk
What the study found Researchers have issued a cautious but growing warning: prolonged exposure to certain industrial chemicals in the air—specifically trichloroethylene (TCE)—may be a substantial, previously overlooked contributor to Parkinson’s disease. In their latest analysis, scientists identified a pattern suggesting that people living in areas with higher ambient TCE levels over years of exposure…

Researchers warn of overlooked factor in Parkinson’s risk: Could air pollution from TCE be substantial?
New findings spotlight a possible environmental trigger for Parkinson’s disease Researchers are drawing attention to an overlooked factor that may contribute to Parkinson’s disease: chronic exposure to industrial chemicals in the air. A recent study suggests that long-term exposure to trichloroethylene, or TCE, a solvent widely used in manufacturing and metal degreasing, could be linked…

New Study Links Industrial Air Pollution to Parkinson’s Risk: Could TCE Exposure Be a Major Factor
Introduction: A New Piece of the Parkinson’s Puzzle Researchers are sounding alarms about an overlooked environmental risk factor for Parkinson’s disease: industrial air pollution. A growing body of evidence points to chemical exposures, particularly trichloroethylene (TCE), as a potential contributor to the development of Parkinson’s. While genetics play a role, environmental factors are increasingly being…
