It’s wisely said that health is wealth. Mental health is still more important for anyone’s growth. A groundbreaking review, published in Brain Medicine, has revealed how common air pollutants might significantly impact the risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It was published on November 12, 2024. This review refers to the critical development periods. The biological pathways through which pollutants like fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides affect brain development were identified by the study. The study was led by Professor Haitham Amal from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Professor Haitham Amal explains, “Different kinds of neurological disorders, including … Continue reading Air Pollution Linked to Autism Risk: Study Reveals Fine Particulate Matter and Nitrogen Oxides Impact Prenatal Brain Development, Increasing Vulnerability to ASD
