TL;DR: In this paper , the authors examined the longitudinal effects of ambient noise and air pollution on ASD and ADHD symptom severity during adolescence and early adulthood, using a longitudinal design, and they found evidence that higher levels of exposure to PM were associated with more severe autism and ADHD symptoms.

Evaluation of Blood Lead Level as a Risk Factor in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Case Control Study
TL;DR: There was a significant difference between mean ages of mother at child’s birth in both case and control group and history of pica was exclusively present in case group indicating that children in ASD group had more exposure to lead than those of control group.

External benefits of a road transportation system with vehicle-to-everything communications
TL;DR: In this paper , a mixed logit model is used to analyse the heterogeneity of the respondents' preferences for cooperative intelligent transport system (C-ITS) and find that the marginal willingness to pay for reducing traffic congestion, reducing traffic accidents, improving fuel economy, reducing particulate matter emissions and reducing GHG emissions are KRW 137.63/%, KRW 189.92/, KRW 82.71/), KRW 447.47/%, and KRW 81.03/%, respectively.

Environmental Exposure & Autism: The Role of Physician Counseling in Incidence Reduction
TL;DR: It is proposed here that physician counseling of patients include information about the identification and avoidance of exposures to environmental neurotoxins that have been identified as causative agents for autism and autism spectrum disorder and that such counseling will lead to a decrease in the incidence of these diseases.

TL;DR: Inhaled ultrafine titanium dioxide particles were found on the luminal side of airways and alveoli, in all major lung tissue compartments and cells, and within capillaries, while particle uptake in vitro did not occur by any of the expected endocytic processes, but rather by diffusion or adhesive interactions.
Prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorders: Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring Network, United States, 2006. Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. Surveillance Summaries. Volume 58, Number SS-10.
TL;DR: The identified prevalence of ASDs in U.S. children aged 8 years was estimated through a systematic retrospective review of evaluation records in multiple sites participating in the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network and presence of an identified ASD was determined through a review of data abstracted from developmental evaluation records by trained clinician reviewers.

Air pollution: mechanisms of neuroinflammation and CNS disease
TL;DR: Recent findings detailing the mechanisms through which air pollution reaches the brain and activates the resident innate immune response to become a chronic source of pro-inflammatory factors and ROS, culminating in CNS disease are summarized.
