Environmental chemical exposures and autism spectrum disorders: a review of the epidemiological evidence.
TL;DR: Future research that addresses these and additional environmental chemicals, including their most common routes of exposures, with accurate exposure measurement pertaining to several developmental windows, is essential to guide efforts for the prevention of the neurodevelopmental damage that manifests in autism symptoms.
Environmental chemical exposures and autism spectrum disorders: a review of the epidemiological evidence (Journal article)
TL;DR: In the past decade, the number of epidemiological publications addressing environmental chemical exposures and autism has grown tremendously as discussed by the authors, and it is now understood that environmental factors play a larger role in causing autism than previously thought and that modifiable risk factors that may open up avenues for the primary prevention of the disability associated with autism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lead exposure in pregnancy: a review of the literature and argument for routine prenatal screening
TL;DR: The reader will be able to list the potential sources of lead intoxication in the authors' society, to describe the effects of low level exposure in utero, and to outline the management strategy of the lead exposed pregnant patient.

Child Neurodevelopmental Outcome and Maternal Occupational Exposure to Solvents
Dionne Laslo-Baker,Maru Barrera,Dafna Knittel-Keren,Eran Kozer,Jacob Wolpin,Sohail Khattak,Richard Hackman,Joanne Rovet,Gideon Koren +8 more
TL;DR: In utero exposure to organic solvents is associated with poorer performance on some specific subtle measures of neurocognitive function, language, and behavior, and reducing exposure in pregnancy is merited until more refined risk assessment is possible.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro assessment of individual and interactive effects of aromatic hydrocarbons on embryonic development of the rat
TL;DR: When the levels of solvents found to be embryotoxic in the present study are compared to blood levels in the human following industrial exposure or solvent abuse, it appears unlikely that the threshold blood levels for embryotoxicity would be exceeded in the workplace.

Longitudinal analyses of prenatal and postnatal lead exposure and early cognitive development.
TL;DR: It appears that the fetus may be adversely affected at blood lead concentrations well below 25 micrograms per deciliter, the level currently defined by the Centers for Disease Control as the highest acceptable level for young children.

Confidentiality and under-age girls who seek contraceptive advice.
TL;DR: Brahms argues that a physician's responsibility to these young patients is greater than that to older girls and that the final decision on whether or not to notify parents should rest with the doctor rather than the patient.
