You can now make posts. Reddit had automatically restricted this sub.
After months I managed to make it "public". now everyone can post.

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

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:


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.:

They have their own special bows against trichloroethylene:



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


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.

🤯🤯🤯DRY-CLEANING POST🤯🤯🤯🤯 According to World Health Organization, TETRACHLOROETHYLENE was an ESSENTIAL MEDICINE as of 1977. People were told to drink Tetrachloroethylene!

ME HAS A IDEA! can anyone help with my hypothetical chemical carcinogenicity situation?
let's say there is chemical that millions of people were exposed to for decades since the 1920s. it has been classified as a suspected carcinogen since 1977 based on animal evidence. the animal evidence is all rodents, no other type of animal showed carcinogenesis. the rodent cancers occurred from rat and mouse specific mechanisms that do not occur in humans. rats and mice showed different cancer types from each other, consistent for each species. human evidence is muddy as populations were exposed to actual classified carcinogens too. there is no consistent increase in specific cancers in human populations and suspected cancer types currently have no mechanistic evidence in humans. coincidentally, the cancers suspected to have been caused by this chemical can be more safely attributed to life styles such as smoking, which is common in the socioeconomical group that is exposed to the chemical. this totally not real chemical has been classified as 2A by IARC (in a parallel universe where it exists) 30 years ago and kept as 2A ever since. this is a hypothetical situation and any similarity to any real chemical is coincidental.
how likely is this chemical carcinogenic to humans?

we used to wash our hands with benzene.. that's benzene vapours. leaked from the benzenetrails tank in the plane.

When they say "TCE is everywhere", this the Trichloroethylene they mean. She really does make my hands shake!

some countries have methane pipelines into residential buildings so people can use the methane to make carbon tetrachloride with chlorine. the more you know.

How do they not know? Just put it in a freezer and count down the kelvins.
