Common cleaning chemical tied to spike in liver disease across US, researchers say
Tetrachloroethylene exposure from everyday products increases liver fibrosis odds by 300%. The EPA restricted the chemical after health risks were discovered in blood samples.
"We were surprised that so many people have detectable PCE in their blood, and that the link with liver scarring was so strong," lead author Brian P. Lee, M.D., hepatologist and liver transplant specialist with Keck Medicine of USC, told Fox News Digital.
People from higher-income households were most at risk of PCE exposure, the study found.
"People with higher incomes may be more likely to use dry cleaning services, which could increase their exposure to PCE," said Lee.
