Identifying Critical Windows of Exposure for Children's Health

Purchase This Issue

An association has been found between exposure to toxic chemicals and various neurodevelopmental disorders such as learning disabilities, intellectual retardation, dyslexia, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism, and propensity to violence. Timing of exposure can be critical to the development of these disorders that currently affect millions of children.
