Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other neurodevelopmental disorders could be triggered by air pollution, including the type emitted in car exhaust, a new study suggested — though it had some limitations. The review, led by Hebrew University of ...

A recent study published on November 12 in the journal *Brain Medicine* has revealed a significant link between air pollution and an increased risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The research, led by Professor Haitham Amal, a world-leading expert in ...

Air pollution is a key environmental risk factor for autism, influencing neurodevelopment through neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and epigenetic changes.

Recent research highlights the link between air pollution and an increased risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in children.

Exposure to nitric oxide (NO)— which is produced when fuel is burned — while a mother is pregnant, or in the early months of life, may pose a “significant risk” of a child developing Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), according to a study published Nov. 12 in in the journal Brain Medicine.

An exciting Emerging Topic review published in Brain Medicine unveils compelling evidence linking air pollution exposure during pregnancy and early childhood to increased autism spectrum disorder (ASD) risk.

A study suggests exposure to air pollution during late pregnancy or early childhood may increase autism risk. Researchers reviewed prior studies to reveal that pollutants like PM2.5 and nitrogen oxides can affect brain development.

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder in which a child displays repetitive behaviour and affected social skills. Early signs, such as difficulty in non-verbal communication and avoiding eye contact,
