February 9, 2009 – Many workers in West Virginia coal preparation labs (where they test the density of coal for market) are unaware of the serious health risks they face from industrial chemicals, such as PCE.
Perchloroethylene, or PCE, is a hazardous solvent used in coal labs, and is known to cause serious neurological injuries to workers who routinely breathe excessive amounts of the chemical vapor. The signature injury associated with PCE is “Central Nervous Disorder.” Symptoms of long-term exposure include:
West Virginia PCE, a known carcinogen
PCE is also known to cause cancer. Three government health agencies recognize PCE as a probable carcinogen, including the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the National Toxicology Program, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
