Air Pollution and Neurodevelopmental Disorders
TL;DR: In this paper , the role of specific contaminants of air pollution, e.g., metals and trace elements, in producing neurotoxicity was assessed, which may be assisted by assessment of the specific contaminants in specific contaminants.

The neurodevelopment of neonates born to women with polycystic ovary syndrome: evidences from China
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors conducted measurement of neonate neurodevelopment on the third day after birth and found significantly lower total score of NBNA and score of behavioral capacity, orientation response-inanimate visual, in male neonates of PCOS group compared to those of control group, while this did not exist in female neonates.

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.
