Specific solvents may increase risk of Parkinson's disease

he researchers found that exposure to trichloroethylene (TCE) correlated with a significantly increased risk of Parkinson's disease (odds ratio [OR], 6.1; P = 0.034). There was a trend toward significance for exposure to perchloroethylene (PERC; OR, 10.5; P = 0.053) and carbon tetrachloride (CCl4; OR, 2.3; P = 0.088).
