Traffic-related air pollution, particulate matter, and autism.
TLDR
Exposure to traffic-related air pollution, nitrogen dioxide, PM2.5, and PM10 during pregnancy and during the first year of life was associated with autism.Citations

Childhood exposure to polluted neighborhood environments and intergenerational income mobility, teenage birth, and incarceration in the USA
Robert Manduca,Robert J. Sampson +1 more
TL;DR: The authors explored the association between childhood exposure to two forms of pollutants and three socioeconomic outcomes for African Americans, whites, and Latinos, finding that children who grew up in census tracts with higher levels of traffic-related air pollution and housing-derived lead risk experienced lower adult incomes on average relative to their parents and higher likelihoods of being incarcerated as an adult or having children as teenagers, after controlling for standard socio-demographic characteristics and metropolitan level effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of air pollution exposure on social behavior: a synthesis and call for research.
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of air pollution exposure on the brain may be even broader, with the potential to affect social decision-making in general, and the authors suggest a comparative approach that utilizes diverse model systems to probe the effects on a wider range of social behaviors, brain regions, and neurochemical pathways.

Neurobehavioral effects of air pollution in children
Michal Kicinski,Tim S. Nawrot +1 more
TL;DR: The causality of the association between air pollution exposure and negative neurobehavioral outcomes during childhood has been supported by experimental animal studies, although only some of them used environmentally relevant exposure levels as discussed by the authors.

The contribution of cooking appliances and residential traffic proximity to aerosol personal exposure.
M. A. Shehab,Francis D. Pope,Juana Maria Delgado-Saborit,Juana Maria Delgado-Saborit,Juana Maria Delgado-Saborit +4 more
TL;DR: Investigating the effect of cooking with gas and electric appliances, as an indoor source of aerosols, and residential traffic as outdoor sources, on personal exposures to particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter lower than 2.5 μm suggests that traffic is a dominant source of exposure to BC.

Environmental factors and Autism Spectrum Disorder
Antonio M. Persico,Sara Merelli +1 more
TL;DR: More research is needed to thoroughly investigate the effects of teratogenic drugs and prenatal viral infections on neurodevelopment, to validate their involvement specifically in ASD, to study gene × environment interactions in potentially susceptible individuals, and to plan targeted prevention strategies.

Mullen Scales of Early Learning
TL;DR: The Mullen Scales of Early Learning (MSEL) as mentioned in this paper includes five scales that provide information on cognitive and motor ability, including Gross Motor (0-33 months only), Visual Reception, Fine Motor, Expressive Language and Receptive Language.

Ultrafine Particles Cross Cellular Membranes by Nonphagocytic Mechanisms in Lungs and in Cultured Cells
Marianne Geiser,Barbara Rothen-Rutishauser,Nadine Kapp,Samuel Schürch,Samuel Schürch,Wolfgang G. Kreyling,Holger Schulz,Manuela Semmler,Vinzenz Im Hof,Joachim Heyder,Peter Gehr +10 more
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.
