What is the Impact of Industrial Chemicals on Parkinson's Disease?
Various industrial chemicals, including solvents and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), have been implicated in PD. These chemicals can cross the blood-brain barrier and accumulate in the brain, causing oxidative stress and inflammation. For instance, trichloroethylene (TCE), a common solvent, has been linked to an increased risk of PD.
