A short YouTube video by Richard Schreiber (Autism Innovation Community Foundation) asserting a possible link between air pollution and increased autism risk when exposure occurs during pregnancy and early childhood.

Hi, Richard Shriver here from the Autism Innovation Community Foundation.
Did you know that air pollution might be linked to autism in children? Studies show that pollution, especially during pregnancy and early childhood, could increase the risk of autism. Pollutants like PM2.5 and nitrous oxides and benzene can be harmful during pregnancy and early months of life. These tiny particles that can cross the placenta and impact brain development can raise the risk of autism. Cleaner air means healthier kids. So let's work together towards the future for our kids. Get yourself some air filters and try to steer clear of air pollution as much as possible. Thank you.
