When this blog first launched, we created a topic category called "Health Effects". This was one of many topic categories we included to enable readers to find pertinent information more easily (see the list of "Topics" to the left).

Over time, we have realized that many of our readers have a particular interest in the way TCE (or related solvents) impacts specific organs in the body — and what is known about its relationship to particular diseases. As such, we've decided to begin categorizing health effects information (articles, studies, resources, etc) by target site/organ in the body. In doing so, we've created a number of new Health Effects categories. In a few cases, we've created specific disease categories, such as Lymphomas or Leukemia.

Want to know how TCE effects the brain? Click on Health Effects - Brain. The heart? Click on Health Effects - Heart. Want to to see all posts related to all health effects? Choose Health Effects - All.

At the moment, you'll notice these categories are relatively empty. It may take us a few days or more to re-categorize all of our old health effects-related posts. In addition, as we publish new items related to specific health effects in the future, you will be able to find them in these new categories. Over time, we hope to add as many resources as possible in each category so that the TCE Blog continues to be a useful online resource.

Note: If there are resources (or categories) you would like to see added to our library of health effects information, please don't hesitate to contact us. Also, please don't hesitate to shout if you think there is a better/easier way to organize this information.
