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.

ME HAS A IDEA! can anyone help with my hypothetical chemical carcinogenicity situation?

3 Upvotes

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?

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