ATSDR-The goals and objectives of the TCA Subregistry |
 | | TCA is used as a solvent for adhesives (including food packaging adhesives), metal degreasing, and textile processing and is used in the manufacturing of pesticides, cutting fluids, aerosols, lubricants, cutting oil formulations, drain cleaners, shoe polishes, spot cleaners, printing inks, and stain repellents. |
 | | TCA is emitted during use of items prevalent in the average home, such as liquid detergent, wallpaper glue, carpets, spray and solid insecticides, carpet glue, and chlorine bleach scouring powder. |
 | | In the first case, the TCA Subregistry is the population of citizens with documented environmental exposure to TCA; in the latter case, SEER is the population of all (invasive) cancer cases in the 10 geographic areas constituting the SEER study area. |
