Polyhalogenated organics have been suspected of causing organ damage since I was in college & I got my BS 49 years ago.
It was standard lab practice to only use chlorinated solvents in a hood.
We even moved a potentiometer titration system to a hood to avoid exposure to the solvent vapors.
That nobody did these studies decades ago is very surprising.
Oh, and someone I missed that identification in the article. Not sure how; I went through it twice.
