A recent study by the University of Texas Health Science Center (San Antonio, Texas, USA) and published in the journal Health & Place-known magazine, has revealed the presence of a statistically significant risk of the amount of mercury released from an industrial source of pollution and increased incidence of autism in children who live in the suburbs.
Living near a source of mercury emissions, such as a coal plant or an incinerator, increases the risk of autism in children
The results of this research coincide with those of numerous other studies that confirm the high amount of mercury in plants, animals and humans living near an emission source of this element.
The price that children pay is definitely higher.
In fact, exposure to even extremely low levels of many pollutants such as mercury, when it occurs during that critical period of formation and development of the nervous system in genetically predisposed individuals, may increase the risk of serious diseases such as autism
