Recycling and health issues related to Perchloroethylene

Perchloroethylene can be difficult to recycle because it is highly flammable and the solvent has a high boiling point. As a result, the perchloroethylene is difficult to disassemble and disintegrate. Perchloroethylene is a toxic and flammable solvent that is widely used for dry-cleaning and in several industries. It is highly flammable and has a high boiling point that requires high gravity and pressure to boil the solvent. It is also toxic and flammable and can cause serious health effects and even death. Due to the report that indicates the presence of toxic chemicals in the environment, the usage of the solvent is becoming questionable. The dry-cleaning process is associated with hazards such as chemical and fire hazards. Dry cleaners can be exposed to hazardous chemicals through skin contact, eye contact, or inhalation of vapors. Perchloroethylene exposure can cause lungs to swell, nosebleeds, and even cancer. Consuming perchloroethylene causes stomach damage, liver damage, cancer, and flushing out of metabolic products.
