Common US chemical TCE linked to increased Parkinson’s disease risk in new study

The researchers say a commonly widespread chemical in the United States is associated with an increased risk of Parkinson’s disease.

In a recent study published in the journal Neurology, researchers found “a small but measurable increase in Parkinson’s danger“Associated with Trichlorethylene (TCE), which was found to spread in the air, water and soil in the United States

TCe is a scumor solvent that is usually used to remove fats of mineral parts and in industrial cleaning, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

The study links the risk of mental health of this poison for those born in the 1960s or 1970s

The chemical is regulated by the law of controlling toxic substances due to the potential risks of liver cancer, kidney cancer and lymphoma in non -Hodgkin.

It was also linked to the damage to the liver and kidneys, The central nervous systemThe immune system and genital organs, as well as the defects of the fetus’s heart, for each environment protection agency.

Previous research has found that TCE, when inhaled or consumed, can easily cross the blood barrier in the brain and cause damage to neurons.

In the latest study, researchers from the Baro Neur Institute in Phoenix, Arizona analyzed the data for about 222,000 the elderly It was recently diagnosed with Parkinson, along with more than 1.1 million people who did not suffer from the disease, according to a press statement.

Ultra -treated advanced foods constitute 60 % of the American diet, which is at greater danger

The researchers also compared patients who lived near the facilities that emit TCE compared to those whose homes were far away.

“We have found a relationship at the country level between TCE and the risk of Parkinson’s disease and some persuasive patterns of high risks in individuals who live near certain facilities that emit those whose homes are beyond their homes,” said Dr. Brittani Carrzianovsky, Assistant Neuroscientist at Baro Digitter.

“We have found … some disguised patterns with high risks for individuals who live near certain facilities that emanate from them.”

She said that the TCE concentrations were found outdoors to be higher in the rust belt area in the United States and many smaller areas throughout the country.

The researcher said: “I was not surprised by seeing a relationship between TCE exposure and the risk of Parkinson’s disease because this link was established in a number of studies.”

“However, this is the first study that connects the ocean TCE in air pollution at the level Air outdoor air In our neighborhoods it can affect the risk of developing the disease. “

TCE is a moleclum solvent that is usually used to stain metal parts and in artificial cleaning. (Istock)

KrZyzanowski said the study used observation data, and does not prove that exposure to chemical causes Parkinson.

“Our study was also limited to Medical care age She added that our results are not talking about the risk of Parkinson’s disease early.

Dr. Harun Elepogen, neurologist and The main physician Among the center of disease disorders and movement disorders in Parkinson at the Michigan Institute for Neurological Disorders, he emphasized that the results are “not new information.”

“The first case of Parkinson’s was associated with exposure to the Ethylene in 1969.”

TCE is found to spread in the air, water and soil in the United States (Istock)

He said that the ethylene trickelor, “is used in dry cleaning, industrial solvents and a wide range of applications in the industry and even at home.”

Illinogen said TCE is one of the many chemicals that have been associated with the development of Parkinson’s disease.

It is not clear that the chemicals directly cause Parkinson’s disease, but it may reflect a complex interaction between Environmental exposure He added.

Dr. Jay Schwartz, co -director of the Parkinson Center and movement disturbances in Stoni Brock Medicine in Long Island, New York, warned that TCe “everywhere” in the United States

TCE is just one of the many chemicals that have been associated with the development of Parkinson’s disease. (Istock)

“It is present, daily life materials, such as perfumes, cleaning wipes, glue and ink, and in the manufacture of soap, paper and plastic,” Schwartz, who also did not participate in the study, told Fox News Digital.

“TCE also seems to be in the air and soil, and exposure to it in accurate quantities over many years – perhaps for decades – it may be necessary to buy a biochemistry chain that leads to the premature Nerve cell deathAs in Parkinson’s disease. “

Schwartz, however, indicated that TCE is not the only risk factor that must be taken into account.

“We should not be able to expose multiple nerve toxins to the” ideal storm “that leads to the appearance of the disease,” he said. “Some chemicals are better established than others, and more widely accepted in the medical community, but there are certainly others who have not been strictly studied and perhaps more harmful Our health“

“It is not clear that the chemicals directly cause Parkinson’s disease.”

Schwartz pointed out that the study indicates that Parkinson’s disease may be linked not only to the advanced age, but also the cumulative effects of long-term exposure to neurological toxins-which may help explain the cause of the development of the disease at a later time in life.

Elepogen pointed out that the TCe exposure avoids challenge.

She said: “There is likely to have some benefits for using medical air purifiers, water filtering and avoiding plastic water bottles, which may contribute to reducing risks,” she said.

The main researcher KrZyzanowski encourages individuals to realize Previous studies Linking TCE’s exposure to the risks of Parkinson’s disease and verification to see if the chemical pollution of its own community.

“If this is the case, there are ways to volunteer and participate in community groups regarding environmental advocacy and treatment,” she said.
