A review of literature found babies with a genetic predisposition to autism exposed to four common air pollutants were more likely to develop the condition.
Dr. Haitham Amal stated, 'My lab has shown that nitric oxide plays a major role in autism spectrum disorder,' highlighting the focus on air pollution's effects.
Air pollution has been linked to a rise in autism rates, which have nearly tripled in the US, with about 3 in 100 kids affected.
The American Lung Association notes that 39% of the US population lives in areas of high air pollution, which may contribute to developmental disorders.
