Exposure to the industrial solvent trichloroethylene (TCE) and other volatile organic compounds in drinking water raised the risk of Parkinson’s disease decades later, an analysis of 158,000 military veterans showed.

Former Camp Lejeune residents also had a higher prevalence of prodromal features like tremor, suggesting that for some veterans, Parkinson’s might not yet be diagnosed.

Trichloroethylene has been used since the 1920s to de-grease metal, decaffeinate coffee, and dry clean clothes. It has been linked with cancer, miscarriages, neural tube defects, congenital heart disease, autoimmune disorders, and Parkinson’s disease in earlier research.

    Uh…

    Yeah?

    Large Study Links Industrial Solvent in Drinking Water to Parkinson Disease Risk in Camp Lejeune Veterans

    Not sure why you sound upset about it.

    And it’s your sub bro, it’s not like anyone is going to get mad you post a headline with context instead of verbatim what the blog used.

    I just don’t know why you didn’t start with that link. But I don’t think I’m going to get an answer either.

    So have a good one I guess.

      Do I sound upset ? Crikey! ha ha

      Sorry duder ,I am immune to upset and trivialities such as social media comments do not even register as irratation on my ragged toenail scale.

      I do attempt to upload the original paper where possible, but when (As is par for the course these days) the publication is behind a paywall and as in this case, without even an abstract ,then the news article has to be the option for the post.

      Take care and have an article annoyance free day .
