TCE causes Parkinson's? That's sobering. The good news is there is less exposure to it now since fewer people use dry cleaning and there are fewer machine shops thus less degreasers. I don't know if the solvent has been replaced since I was more familiar with it.
TCE is a common pollutant at toxic Superfund sites like old landfills, dry cleaning operations, and (obviously) defunct chemical plants.
My mom always told me stay away from dry cleaners and never, ever live above/next to one or a nail salon.
"Trike" was banned in the UK in the 1970s and replaced with (from memory) Perchlorethane.
Perch breaks down into Trike.

They cite "gun cleaner" as if there were only one. We need to know exactly which gun cleaners are involved.
