Environmental advocate warns of Parkinson's risk from unaddressed TCE contamination near old IBM site.

Walter Hang, head of Toxics Targeting, warns that pollution from the old IBM-Endicott site, particularly Trichloroethylene (TCE), may increase the risk of Parkinson's disease for nearby residents and former workers. Despite the contamination being identified 45 years ago, it remains unaddressed. Hang is calling for New York Governor Kathy Hochul to take action and has launched a "Parkinson's Prevention Campaign" to inform those potentially exposed to TCE.
