A new article by researchers from Project 1 and Project 2 titled "Exposure to tetrachloroethylene-contaminated drinking water and the risk of pregnancy loss" has been published in the inaugural issue of Water Quality, Exposure, and Health. The investigators sought to determine if exposure to tetrachloroethylene (PCE) in drinking water on Cape Cod between 1969 and 1983 measurably affected the incidence of pregnancy loss. Women who were pregnant during this period were included in the study and maternal prenatal exposure to PCE was modeled. The results of the study suggest that prenatal PCE exposure at the levels experienced by this population does not increase the risk of clinically recognized pregnancy loss. Several previous studies found an increased risk of pregnancy loss among women exposed to PCE and mixtures of solvents in occupational settings. Because PCE remains a commercially ubiquitous solvent and a common contaminant of ground and drinking water supplies, the effect of PCE exposure on pregnancy outcomes remains an important topic of investigation.
