Talk:Trichloroethylene

message: This article needs to be summarized.  I suggest "Water Contamination by Trichloroethylene" should be a separate article.  Toxic effects are appropriate for the current TRICHLOROETHYLENE article, but the ground water contamination issue deserves it's own entry.
The references need to be redone in proper format.
Please use the standard Wikipedia reference system.    EtherDoc (talk) 17:29, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

message: The references to carcinogenicity should stick to well established studies and reviews. Although there certainly are valid concerns for its toxicity and carcinogenicity, these types of data are often difficult to interpret.

thread_title:  carcinogenicity 

message: The sentence in the health effects section:
"Organochlorine compounds such as trichloroethylene present a potentially serious environmental liability given their great resistance to natural degradation and their high marine toxicity",
does not provide a good characterization of TCE health risks.  TCE isn't that kind of organochlorine compound; that description better represents persistant organic pollutants (POPs) such as dioxins/furans, PCBs and chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides.  TCE doesn't pose a significant ecological risk, in comparison with its potential human health risks, and while somewhat recalcitrant, will biodegrade in soil and groundwater. If you're going to have an introductory statement for this section, would be better to focus on the potentially widespread human exposures, the cancer risks and developmental toxicity.

thread_title:  TCE as an organochlorine compound 

message: Updated the introduction to focus on the principal reason for concern about TCE - the widespread nature of exposure.
Revised discussion of carcinogenicity to reflect the current assessment as presented in the NAS report.  Included a contrasting review regarding kidney cancer (recently published in J. Urology).
Revised discussion of developmental toxicity to reflect current assessment as presented in the NAS report.  
Presented a more detailed chronology of the review process for TCE, from the "state of the science" review, through EPA's 2001 reassessment and the NAS report.  Removed the misleading conclusion that EPA found TCE to be from "2 to 40 times more carcinogenic".  It's a factoid as I've discussed here:  
http://impact_analysis.blogspot.com/2006/04/more-of-tce-story-missed-by-la-times.html.
Provided more description of the extent of TCE contamination in groundwater, noting there are more than just sites in the DOD and DOE complexes. 
Removed misleading statement regarding chloral hydrate metabolite from the "Uses" section.

message: I have added a link to the Salina, Kansas page under the contaminated cities section. Although, strictly speaking, the TCE leak from KSLN hasn't quite reached the water supply yet... How should we handle this? Some kind of note?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.67.36.168 (talk) 14:23, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Forrest City, AR water supply contaminated. 

message: I'll be adding a section to this article about the environmental implications of TCE, since it's a regulated substance and is so prevalent in our environment. Because of this, there will be some redundancy. Maybe we could take certain portions of information out or move them to the new section. Feel free to let me know what you think about that. I'll wait for comments before I start adding anything. Sean Egan (talk) 02:46, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  New section - Environmental Concerns 

message: The references had a 2001 peer review draft of the EPA toxicity assessment.  It was just updated to instead refer to the Final toxicity review published by USEPA in 2011, with a link to a page where it can be found.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by AndrewRA (talk • contribs) 00:13, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article on the link between Trichloroethylene and Parkinsons 

message: Have just fallen down a rabbit hole due to recent edits. Hermann Emil Louis Fischer, the ostensible discoverer of Trichloroethylene, was born in 1852. He didn't even begin studying chemistry until at least 1869, according to his wikipedia entry, and other sources I've reviewed. Yet in numerous sources, he is listed as the discoverer of Trichloroethylene in 1864...when he would have been twelve. This is extremely unlikely. An IP editor change the article to state that it was not Hermann Emil Louis Fischer,  but a different Emil Fischer. Unfortunately I'm not able to nail down precisely who that Emil Fischer is. So, I'm puzzled. The sources I've looked at far predate the existence of wikipedia, so they aren't merely parroting the information here, so it was definitely an Emil Fischer who discovered it - but I can find nothing more specific on the matter. Could use some additional eyes on the matter... cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 03:21, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
