Description
1. Trichloroethylene (TCE) and Perchloroethylene (PCE) are environmental toxicants
2. TCE metabolizes to Dichloroethylene (DCVC) and PCE metabolizes to Trichloroethylene (TCVC) once in the body
3. Metabolites could lead to pre-term birth and complications during pregnancy
4. DCVC and TCVC have also shown to inhibit proinflammatory cytokines.
