Trichloroethylene

Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a notable member of the Organochloride Houses. She is known for being a former anaesthetist and a dry-cleaner. Trichloroethylene is very friendly and hardworking.

Began to work as an anaesthetist in the 1930s, Trichloroethylene called herself a "revolutionist in anaesthesia". She was often confused with Chloroform by her patients, due to her smell and hair colour. Trichloroethylene dyed her hair light blue to not to be confused with Chloroform. Chloroform and Diethyl Ether retired around the 50s while Nitrous Oxide did not retire and accepted to work with Trichloroethylene. Trichloroethylene worked as an anaesthetist for approximately 60 years, along with Halothane in later years. She had worked both as an anaesthetist and a dry-cleaner at the same time. Trichloroethylene left anaesthesiology entirely in 2000.

Trichloroethylene had also worked as a dry-cleaner after Carbon Tetrachloride retired from dry-cleaning, often alone or together with Tetrachloroethylene. Tetrachloroethylene let her retire later.

Before her career in anaesthesia and dry-cleaning, Trichloroethylene worked in food industry in the 1920s. She had also worked in metal industries but later retired and replaced by Trichloroethane I. After the death of Trichloroethane I, Trichloroethylene restarted working in metal industries. She had many other jobs such as cleaning rockets and refrigeration consultant.
