| Abstract |
Exposure to trichloroethylene is associated with neurological disorders, cardiovascular effects and damage to the liver and kidney. Liver and kidney damage have been attributed to chronic high exposure (>1.000 ppm). It is highly likely that the direct myocardial depressent effect, which is a serious health hazard for those with compromised or reduced cardiac reserve, occurs at lower exposure concentrations than has been previously thought. Although animal teratology studies performed to date are inconclusive, trichloroethylene could be teratogenic since: (1) it is distributed in the fetus, (2) biotransformation into reactive metabolites occurs in fetal liver, and (3) trichloroethylene has high lipid solubility. |
