ssa'a headaches could easily be the result of exposure
1. WHAT IS TETRACHLOROETHENE(PERC)?
Tetrachloroethene is a manufactured chemical that is widely used in the dry-cleaning of fabrics, including clothes. It is
also used for degreasing metal parts and in manufacturing other chemicals.Tetrachloroethene is found in consumer
products, including some paint and spot removers, water repellents, brake and wood cleaners,glues, and suede
protectors.Other names for tetrachloroethene include PERC,tetrachloroethylene, perchloroethylene,and PCE. PERC is
a commonly used name and will be used in the rest of the fact sheet.
PERC is a nonflammable,colorless liquid at room temperature. I readily evaporates into air and has an ether-like odor.
Because most people stop noticing the odor of PERC in air after a short time odor is not a reliable warning signal of
PERC exposure.
2. HOW CAN I BE EXPOSED TO PERC?
People are exposed to PERC in air,water, and food.Exposure can also occur when PERC or material containing PERC
(for example,soil) gets on the skin. For most people,almost all exposure is from PERC in air.
PERC gets into outdoor and indoor air by evaporation from industrial or dry-cleaning operations and from areas where
chemical wastes are stored or disposed.Groundwater near these areas may become contaminated if PERC is improperly
dumped or leaks into the ground.People may be exposed if they drink the contaminated water.They may also be
exposed if PERC evaporates from contaminated drinking water into indoor air during cooking and washing. PERC may
evaporate from contaminated groundwater and soil and into the indoor air of buildings above the contaminated area.
PERC also may evaporate from dry-cleaned clothes and into indoor air or may get into indoor air after PERC-products,
such as spot removers, are used. Indoor air PERC levels may get high if PERC-products are used in poorly ventilated
areas.
3. HOW DOES PERC ENTER AND LEAVE MY BODY?
When people breathe air containing PERC,the PERC is taken into the body through the lungs and passed into the blood,
which carries it to all parts of the body.A large fraction of this PERC is breathed out, unchanged,through the lungs into
the air. Some of this PERC is stored in the body(for example, in fat,liver, and brain)and some is broken down in the liver
to other compounds and eliminated in urine. PERC can also be found in breastmilk. Once exposure stops, most of the
PERC and its breakdown products leave the body in several days. However, it may take several weeks for all of the
PERC and its breakdown products to leave the body.
4. WHAT KINDS OF HEALTH EFFECTS CAN BE CAUSED BY EXPOSURE TO PERC IN AIR?
In humans and animals,the major effects of PERC exposure are on the central nervous system, kidney, liver,and
possibly the reproductive system.These effects vary with the level and length of exposure. Figure 1 shows the types of
health effects seen in humans and animals and the lowest levels of PERC in air at which the effects were seen.The
diagram on the right side of the figure shows the effects of long-term exposures in humans and animals whereas the
diagram on the left side shows the same information for short-term exposures. Because there is a large amount of
information on the human effects of PERC,the rest of the fact sheet will discuss only the human data.
The human effects shown in Figure 1 represent the average response of a group of individuals at an estimated level of
exposure(typically,the average of the measured air levels). Because data for individual people are not usually reported,
some people (those sensitive to the effects of PERC) may have experienced effects at air levels below the average air
level, whereas other people(those resistant to the effects of PERC) may not have experienced effects at air levels above
the average air level. The difference in how people respond to the same or similar exposure levels is due, in part,to the
individual differences among people. People,for example,differ in age, sex, diet,family traits, lifestyle,genetic
background,the presence of other chemicals in their body (e.g., alcohol, prescription drugs), and state of health.These
differences can affect how people will respond to a given exposure. One person may feel fine during and after an
exposure while another person may become sick.This is known as sensitivity. Differences in sensitivity should be kept in
mind when reading the following information on the human health effects of PERC.
Short-Term Exposure-Studies with volunteers show that exposures of 8-hours or less to 700,000 micrograms per cubic
meter of air(mcg/m3)cause central nervous system symptoms such as dizziness,headache, sleepiness,
lightheadedness,and poor balance(Figure 11. Exposures to 350,000 mcg/m3 for 4 hours affected the nerves of the visual
system and reduced scores on certain behavioral tests(which, for example, measure the speed and accuracy of a
person's response to something they see on a computer screen).These effects were mild and disappeared soon after
exposure ended
Long-Term Exposure-Numerous studies of dry-cleaning workers indicate that long-term exposure(9 to 20 years,for
example)to workplace air levels averaging about 50,000 mcg/m3 to 80,000 mcg/m3 reduces scores on behavioral tests
and causes biochemical changes in blood and urine(Fiaure 1).The effects were mild and hard to detect. How long these
effects would last if exposure ended is not known.
One study reported reduced scores on behavioral tests in 14 healthy adults living (for 10.6 years, on average) in
apartments near dry-cleaning shops. The effects were small;the average test scores of the residents were slightly lower
than the average score of unexposed people.The range of measured air levels in 13 apartments was 7.6 mcg/m3 to
23,000 mcg/m3;one air level was below 100 mcg/m3,five values were between 100 and 1,000 mcg/m3, and seven
values were above 1 000 mcg/m3.The average air level in all apartments was 5,000 mcg/m3 and the median value was
about 1,400 mcg/m3(that is,half the measured air levels were above 1,400 mcg/m3 and halt were below it).As with the
long-term occupational studies,how long these effects would last if exposure ended is not known. Confidence in the
understanding of exposure in this study is less than that in the occupational studies.
Some studies show a slightly increased risk of some types of cancer and reproductive effects among workers,including
dry-cleaning workers,exposed to PERC and other chemicals.Cancers associated with exposures include cancers of the
esophagus, bladder, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.Cancers less clearly associated with exposures include cancers of
the cervix,tongue, and lung. The reproductive effects associated with exposure included increased risks of spontaneous
abortion, menstrual and sperm disorders, and reduced fertility. The data suggest, but do not prove,that the effects were
caused by PERC and not by some other factor or factors.
