While the search results don't specifically mention TCE (trichloroethylene), they do discuss other environmental factors that have been linked to Parkinson's disease. Several pesticides like rotenone, paraquat, trifluralin, and permethrin have been associated with increased Parkinson's risk. People exposed to these substances have shown up to 2.5 times higher likelihood of developing Parkinson's.
The risk can be reduced by using proper safety equipment like chemical-resistant gloves and following safety procedures. This is particularly relevant for farmers, who have been found to have higher rates of Parkinson's than other professions due to chemical exposure. Other environmental risk factors being studied include vitamin D deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency, diets high in saturated fats, and air pollution exposure. Research is ongoing to better understand these connections.
