I've been terrified of this chemical since watching a PBS show called "Ghostwriter" when I was a kid:

Synopsis: "The team is hard at work at the community garden center when a series of health problems arise: Gaby passes out, several other kids and adults get sick, and even some rabbits die. It's soon learned that a highly toxic chemical, tetrachloroethylene (commonly known as "perc") has been illegally dumped in the ground under the garden and is to blame. As the authorities cannot remove the barrels in a reasonable amount of time, unless the guilty party is tracked down, the team sets off to find the person responsible for such a dirty act. Investigation eventually leads to a local philanthropist named John Miller (Brian Reddy), who may not be the "Citizen of the Year" that he seems." [1]

Does anyone else remember this episode and have the same reaction as I do?

I do recall that episode. It was a good lesson in why environmentalism is important, because pollution is a real threat that can hurt us in our own neighborhoods.
