Two new studies have identified an alarming connection between exposure to wildfire smoke during pregnancy and autism in young children.

    Particle matter (PM2.5) is known to be a serious risk factor. The small particles are found in smoke and also pollution from cars. Living close to a highway also is a big risk factor for autism. So let’s deregulate pollution a big more and blame Tylenol and vaccines?

      Prenatal Exposure to Wildfire and Autism in Children https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.est.5c08256

      Prenatal exposure to wildfire-related PM2.5 and autism spectrum disorder in children born in California between 2001–2019 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160412026000899

      ““All we can point out is this association in the third trimester,” Guglio said. “It takes other people down the line to investigate those pathways more directly.””

      PM2.5 induced inflammation is probably the link. And is also associated with ARCD (age related cognitive decline), Alzheimer’s Disease and numerous other organ/ system diseases.

      Again, where is this correlation coming from?

        Lots and lots of studies from around the world finding the same thing.
