And I'm not even I don't think I'm even close to finding anything. the true extent of the effect of these environmental toxicants on Parkinson's disease and other brain diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, ALS, intellectual disabilities, brain cancer, and many others.

Yeah, so let's do indoor air first, because that's really people probably less familiar with. But many people know that radon can evaporate from the soil and enter people's basements, for example, and it increases the risk of lung cancer.

It turns out other chemicals, including trichloroethylene and a very closely related chemical called perchloroethylene, which just has one more chlorine atom on it and has the prefix per, which means for. These chemicals can contaminate groundwater, which is about 15 feet or 15 to 50 feet below our surface and form underground rivers.

And these underground rivers that are contaminated with these chemicals, these chemicals are readily volatile. They evaporate and they can evaporate into people's homes, schools and workplaces undetected. And then people can be breathing in these chemicals and never know about it.

and be increasing their risk for developing cancer and likely increasing their risk for developing Parkinson's disease. In Newport Beach, California, less than a half mile from where I went to high school in Cronenmar High School, there's a former aerospace facility that's been contaminated with trichloroethylene and a closely related chemical called perchloroethylene.

It's been rezoned and made into residential homes. So there are multimillion dollar homes in Newport Beach, California, about three miles from the Pacific Ocean or from Pacific Coast Highway, that are sitting on top of a plume of trichloroethylene and perchloroethylene.

That trichloroethylene and perchloroethylene has been documented to be evaporating into the homes above this plume, and they have found trichloroethylene or perchloroethylene in people's master bedrooms, in their living rooms, and in their kids' playrooms.
