Textile Processing with Tetrachloroethylene

Toxicological Profile for Tetrachloroethylene

Residential Tetrachloroethylene Exposure: Response

In her interesting review addressing endocrine disruption and the developing brain, Colborn (2004) asked rightly for special attention to the role of a disruption of thyroid hormones and thyroid hormone metabolism, which negatively influence early development of the fetal brain. As mechanisms of action, chemicals such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were discussed in a dose-related way; the...

Tetrachloroethylene ( perc , tetra , PCE )

Current evaluation Conclusion from the previous Monograph: Tetrachloroethylene (Perc) is probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A) with the working group finding limited evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of Perc and sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of Perc. In making the overall evaluation, the Working Group considered the following evidence: (i) Alt...

Chemistry and Applications of Cellulase in Textile Wet Processing

The term ‘Enzyme’ came from the Greek word ‘Enzymos’ means ‘In the cells or Ferments’. These are naturally available, high molecular weight proteins, capable of catalyzing chemical reaction of biological process and therefore popular as ‘Biocatalyst’. Enzymes are soluble organic substance, produced by living organisms whose different amino acids form long poly peptide chains (-HN-R-CONH-R-CO-)n...
