I have been reading about how chemicals may pull the trigger as far as the onset of PD. It prompted me to think about where I grew up. I grew up in Glen Avon, CA. It was the home of the Stringfellow Acid Pits, a pretty large toxic waste dump. Here is the link if you are interested.

As a child, we weren't allowed to drink the water at school and at home we had an expensive water filtration system installed. I remember the Channel 7 News coming to my school when I was in the third grade to report about the contamination. I was actually featured in the news clip sitting in class twirling my blonde hair around my finger! I went to the schools that are mentioned in this link and lived in the area for 10 years, from when I was eight to eighteen years old. We had a backyard swimming pool and spent our summers swimming in the contaminated water...lovely, isn't it??? Let me know what you think.
