Role of endocrine disrupting chemicals in children's neurodevelopment

Viviana Ramirez et al.

Summary: The study aimed to review limited literature on the effects of postnatal exposure to EDC on child neurodevelopment and behavior. While some research suggests a relationship between postnatal EDC exposure and adverse neurobehavioral outcomes in children, the underlying mechanisms of action remain unclear.

Bioaccessibility and human exposure to metals in urban soils (Huelva, SW Spain): evaluation by in vitro gastric extraction

Marco Tulio Guillen et al.

Summary: The study assessed the human health risk of heavy metals in urban-peri-urban soils from Huelva Township, finding higher bioaccessibility of heavy metals in industrial areas compared to urban or other areas. Arsenic's carcinogenic risk exceeded regulatory levels, posing higher risks to children, while lead generally did not produce detrimental health effects.

Exposure to mercury among 9-year-old children and neurobehavioural function

Manuel Lozano et al.

Summary: This study found a positive association between postnatal mercury exposure and poorer neurobehavioral development in 9- and 11-year-old children. Boys tended to have worse scores with increasing mercury levels compared to girls. There were also significant interactions with certain genetic polymorphisms affecting the association between mercury exposure and behavior scores.

Source contribution and origin of PM10 and arsenic in a complex industrial region (Huelva, SW Spain)

Maria Millan-Martinez et al.

Summary: Industrial activities contribute significantly to air pollution, impacting nearby populations' health. A study in southwest Spain found industrial activity to be the main source of SO2, with traffic and resuspension emissions also contributing to levels of NO2 and PM10. Additionally, high concentrations of crustal components, particularly arsenic, were identified as potential risks to the nearby population.

Exposure to environmental neurotoxic substances and neurodevelopment in children from Latin America and the Caribbean

Jose G. Dorea

Summary: Exposure to neurotoxic substances poses a significant threat to children's neurodevelopment in Latin American and Caribbean countries, especially impacting children from laboring families. Studies indicate that prenatal exposure has more lasting effects than exposure through human milk, underscoring the urgent need to reduce neurotoxicant exposure to protect children's neurodevelopment.

Manganese body burden in children is associated with reduced visual motor and attention skills

Lonnie Sears et al.

Summary: The study found that children exposed to manganese may experience reduced visual motor skills and increased attention problems. This could be due to the neurotoxic effects of manganese on the basal ganglia and forebrain regions.

Neurodevelopment and exposure to neurotoxic metal(loid)s in environments polluted by mining, metal scrapping and smelters, and e-waste recycling in low and middle-income countries

Jose G. Dorea

Summary: This review comprehensively examines the impacts of informal metal extraction activities on early life exposure to neurotoxicants and neurodevelopment, highlighting mercury and lead as major neurotoxicants affecting children, with SubSaharan African countries showing the highest levels of contamination. Child labor is widely employed in unregulated metal processing activities, leading to additional occupational exposures.

Trace elements in children with autism spectrum disorder: A meta-analysis based on case-control studies

Jun Zhang et al.

Summary: The study found that children with autism spectrum disorder have higher levels of barium, mercury, lithium, and lead in their bodies, and significant differences in copper levels in hair and serum. Additionally, mercury, lithium, lead, and selenium levels in the hair of autistic children were higher than in healthy children, while zinc levels in the blood were lower.
