Trichloroethylene
”Ancient chinese secret huh?”
“Trichloroethylene (TCE) has been widely used for more than a century in products and processes ranging from metal degreasing to fabric cleaning and even coffee decaffeination. Its use peaked in the United States in the 1970s, when more than 600 million pounds were produced annually, about two pounds per person.”
[Banned in the EU since 2016](https://www.euronews.com/health/2025/10/02/industrial-chemical-banned-in-the-eu-linked-to-parkinsons-disease) but [not (yet) in the US](https://www.epa.gov/assessing-and-managing-chemicals-under-tsca/risk-management-trichloroethylene-tce) (although some sources suggest the ban is already in place – with some of the US congress trying to overturn it)
Used a lot of this in the navy.
Nice try normies. I don’t clean.
Glad I could never afford dry cleaning and I use Iso and acetone to degrease.
Lots of brake cleaners contained it.
Why do I continue to expose my anxious brain to things like this when I am absolutely powerless in limiting my exposure *sigh*
Sweet, I lived above a dry cleaner for a year
(NY) State used to send an inspector twice per year to test the air. Was always „safe“
There is a superfund site near me where the ground water will be contaminated for centuries because a large factory dumped millions of gallons of this stuff in holding ponds for it to „disappear.“
This headline is misleading. Sure, its for cleaning, but only in commercial and industrial processes. Vast majority of people woukdnt even know where to get this stuff.
They paying you for clicks? Why would you play the same game they play and not just give us the chemical in the post?
Awh man, first job was at a dry cleaner. Hated working in the back with the fumes. Would hold my breath and try to only get ‘fresh’ air. Parkinson’s here I come!
Breaking news! Solvents are not good for you.
Tetrachlor used to be used in industrial vapor degrease systems. Seemed like everyone that worked those ended up with cancer later in life. I believe trichlor was perceived as less dangerous but it’s not surprising they’re learning it’s not. If you’ve ever smelled these chemicals you would just intuitively know how dangerous they are.
Once again the hippys have been saying this stuff is bad for decades
Isn’t the chemical industry wonderful!
