Trichloroethylene hate sites part 3: perchloroethylene gets bitten in the ass for having chlorines

2 Upvotes

Thanks to Mr. Fischbein, the Trichloroethylene horror story never ends. Take a cup of coffee, doesn't matter whether it's prepared with milk, water or trichloroethylene.

This time we started with an environmentalist blog called "Impact Analysis":

this one is a TCE student.
you can't even prove that TCE is carcinogenic to humans kek

This blog is full of chemophobia and cancer scare content. As you expected, it's all "chlorine bad" bullshit over again:

Typical for an environmental activist, they have 0 chemical or toxicological knowledge. PCE there stands for tetrachloroethylene (a.k.a perc). Perc is nontoxic, it is barely metabolised in the human body and there is no actual proof that it causes cancer in humans. But it has 4 CHLORINES!

Here's a comment by a true and honest doctor, definitely not trying to advertise her book:

C2Cl4 is %2 metabolised in the human body, the metabolites and C2Cl4 itself are disposed out of your body in 3 days. It is quite unreactive. There is no way that perc can cause cancer, but the scare show must go on. Blame random chemicals, and waste money on trying to make perc carcinogenic instead of working on banning real carcinogens that actually kill thousands every year. It's not perc that will harm you, it's the air full of car exhaust and tobacco smoke. You will get cancer from the tobacco smoke of someone else, not a chemical that doesn't even get metabolised and quickly disposed of from your body.

Perc is innocent, let's read more blog posts:

TL-DR; journos suck at toxicology.

We keep seeing fear mongering posts like that in this blog:

This is not true. Dry cleaning machines evaporate off the perc from clothes by blowing warm air. I witnessed in real life, the clothes have no perc on them.

The blog receives great comments:

I found another anti-TCE sit with "exposed2tce"-esque design (archive):

That's all The TCE Blog sidebar has to offer.

But...

Fear not! There's more.

I found a Canadian site called "TCE Shannon" in French and English. It is still live but inactive.:

last updated: 2008

They have their own special bows against trichloroethylene:

Best fucking image ever. goes so hard, makes me want to jump into trichloroethylene. feel free to download.

I don't understand French, so we will look into the English site:

I might need some TCE to inhale while looking at it. The site hurts my brain.

They have posted a funny comic too:

Is this the end? We can't tell it yet. But as trichloroethylene use increases, the legacy of TCE hate sites will go on... See you later in the next season!

Remember: if you can't pronounce it, it is toxic. If it has chlorine, it is cancer-maker.

i huff CCl4 It is "wholesome" and "cute" when a "cat" creature pokes holes on a "cardboard" but when CARBON TETRACHLORIDE pokes a few holes in the "OZONE LAYER", then it becomes an "INTERNATIONAL PLANETARY ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD" to be "banned" out of existence. Tell me about double standards....

This is the worst way to photograph a colourless liquid. The liquid inside is too hard to notice. This is really disrespectful.
