- Authors
Goldbas, Abbie
- Abstract
This report examines the possibility that autism may be related to toxic chemicals in commonly used household products. Certain environmental chemicals are known to cause neurological damage to fetuses; however we do not know their connection, if any, to autism. This discussion includes (a) autism; (b) fetal vulnerability; (c) toxic chemicals' link to birth defects; (d) possible links between chemicals and autism; (e) necessity for governmental regulations for household chemicals; and (f ) the need for research regarding a potential relationship between toxic household chemicals and autism.
