Just another question my father who has been diaginosed with early onset Parkinsons worked with Trichloroethylene which I have found out huge amounts of info on but was wondering if anyone has heard of any of these other solvents and any possible links?

Toulene, Xylene, Acetone, Heptane, Phenolic resin, Solvent primer,Polychloro prene, Colpor, Methylene chloride or Ados F2 ( nhexane)

Any info at all on links with solvents and PD links would be great or websites to study

Thanks :-)

  I wonder about a lot of solvents, chemicals etc---look at ALS and the military --it's climbing and it's due to the crap they put in the air!!!!    my mother worked for years in a basement that later was determined to be positive for something or other-----

yes I have worked with alot of solvents and have big time nero problems but doc wount admit it but each and everyone of thouse solvents can also give you cancer.  I worked with triclour , varnishes fresh into and out of oven  coolants ,oils degreasers I ran machines for 12 yrs and 15 yrs spent working close to these thing  and had a plastic injectshion mach purging inside building burn your eyes and nose but hay it's all ok as they would say so yes I do believe you could have a sort of  parkingsism or how evey it is said.

I often thought my art practises since 1997 might have kicked off my neuro symptoms. Especially lead in white paint, although I am not sure if it is still in oil paints anymore. But also white spirits and turpentine, although the latter I used little as was more expensive.
I wasnt particular about washing my hands after paint or white spirits but very very good at keeping my brushes clean so was liberal with white spirits.
would this 'do' it.
