| Summary |
Reviews the effects of environmental contaminants on the development and degeneration of the human nervous system. Describes the adverse effects that the environment can have on neurological development, and how these effects may exhibit. Specific contaminants and their possible consequences of exposure are addressed (lead, methylmercury, alcohol), as well as specific disorders and the environmental factors associated with |
