Study Links Air Pollution to Increased Autism Risk, States Most at Risk
Nov 12, 2024, 11:01 AM

Scientists have highlighted that toxins inhaled by millions daily could increase the risk of a child developing autism, with certain states being most at risk. The diagnosis of autism has risen exponentially over the past 11 years, with some attributing this to improved recognition and diagnosis, while others point to broader metabolic and mental health issues.
