THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY HAS BANNED TWO SOLVENTS USED IN MANY EVERYDAY PRODUCTS… THAT HAVE BEEN PROVEN TO CAUSE MULTIPLE TYPES OF CANCER, AS WELL AS OTHER DISEASES.

TRICHLOROETHELYNE – BETTER KNOWN AS T-C-E — AND PERCHLOROETHELYNE – P-C-E – ARE CHEMICALS USED IN THINGS LIKE CLEANERS, SPOT REMOVERS, LUBRICANTS AND GLUE.

T-C-E IS KNOWN TO CAUSE LIVER AND KIDNEY CANCERS AND NON-HODGKINS LYMPHOMA… AS WELL AS DAMAGE TO THE NERVOUS AND IMMUNE SYSTEMS.

THE E-P-A IS BANNING IT COMPLETELY.

P-C-E, ALSO OFTEN CALLED PERK (perk), IS USED FOR DRY-CLEANING AND AUTOMOTIVE CARE PRODUCTS.

IT’LL NOW BE BANNED FOR COMMERCIAL USES LIKE THAT… BUT WILL STILL BE ALLOWED FOR INDUSTRIAL USE – LIKE AVIATION AND DEFENSE – AS LONG AS STRICT RULES ARE IN PLACE TO PROTECT WORKERS.

PERC HAS BEEN FOUND TO CAUSE LIVER, KIDNEY, BRAIN AND TESTICULAR CANCERS… AND TO DAMAGE THE KIDNEYS, LIVER AND IMMUNE SYSTEM.

THE E-P-A SAYS SAFER ALTERNATIVES TO THESE SOLVENTS ARE ALREADY AVAILABLE FOR MOST OF THEIR USES ANYWAY.
