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

The landmark review in brain medicine reveals complex links between air pollutants and neurodevelopmental disorders.

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.
