- Autism and environmental mercury - Palmer et al 2006
Finding: "On average, for each 1,000 lb of environmentally released mercury, there was a 43% increase in the rate of special education services and a 61% increase in the rate of autism. The association between environmentally released mercury and special education rates were fully mediated by increased autism rates." - Autism and pollutants - Windham et al 2006
Finding: Autism is associated with levels of various toxic metals and other pollutants. - The Story of Stuff (20-minute video)
An overview of our consumption of "stuff". By the 5 minute mark, toxic molecules are addressed - in their context from resource extraction all the way to disposal. Highly recommended!
