• 85% of Dry Cleaners still use PERC as a cleaning agent even after the United States Environmental Protection Agency [1-2] has classified perc as "likely human carcinogen."
  
  
• Minimal exposure to perc can cause people to experience dizziness, headaches, drowsiness, nausea, and skin and respiratory irritation.
  
  
• Prolonged exposure has been linked to neurological effects, liver and kidney damage, and cancer.
  
  
• The EPA has found that clothes dry cleaned with perc can elevate levels of the toxin throughout a home and especially in the room where the garments are stored.
  
  
• A recent study conducted at Georgetown University shows that perc is retained in dry-cleaned clothes and that perc levels increase with repeat cleanings. [4]
  
  
• Breastfeeding mothers who are exposed to perc may transfer it to their infants via breast milk.
