Description

Tetrachloroethylene, also known as perchloroethylene or PERC, is a colorless liquid with a sweet, chloroform-like odor. It is a chlorinated hydrocarbon that was widely used as a solvent in dry cleaning and metal degreasing. Tetrachloroethylene is synthesized through the chlorination of ethylene or acetylene in the presence of a catalyst. However, due to its environmental concerns and health effects, its use has been significantly reduced. Tetrachloroethylene is a suspected human carcinogen and has been linked to various health problems, including liver cancer, respiratory issues, and neurological disorders. It is also a persistent organic pollutant that can contaminate soil and water sources. Despite its risks, tetrachloroethylene continues to be studied to understand its environmental fate and potential remediation techniques. Research focuses on developing alternative cleaning methods, assessing the long-term effects of environmental exposure, and exploring the potential of bioremediation for contaminated sites.'
