Neurobehavioural effects of developmental toxicity
TL;DR: To control the pandemic of developmental neurotoxicity, a global prevention strategy is proposed and chemicals in existing use and all new chemicals must therefore be tested for developmental neurotoxicants is proposed.

TL;DR: Eviologic investigations focused on nongenetic factors have established advanced parental age and preterm birth as ASD risk factors, indicated that prenatal exposure to air pollution and short interpregnancy interval are potentialrisk factors, and suggested the need for further exploration of certain prenatal nutrients, metabolic conditions, and exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals.

Pollution from Fossil-Fuel Combustion is the Leading Environmental Threat to Global Pediatric Health and Equity: Solutions Exist
TL;DR: The purpose of this commentary is to briefly review the data on the health impacts of fossil-fuel pollution, highlighting the neurodevelopmental impacts, and to briefly describe available means to achieve a low-carbon economy, and some examples of interventions that have benefited health and the economy.

TL;DR: Plasticity and behavioral deficits produced as a result of gestational B(a)P exposure are at least, in part, a product of down-regulation of early developmental glutamate receptor subunit expression and function at a time when excitatory synapses are being formed for the first time in the developing central nervous system.
