| Top 10 Toxins Suspected of Causing Autism |
- Lead
– This used to be added to paint and gasoline and still can be found in soil, water, old paint, toys and other consumer products.
- Methylmercury
– Mercury comes out of the smokestacks of coal-fired power plants under lax regulation. This mercury precipitates out over oceans and lakes and is transformed into methylmercury as it gets into the food web.
- Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)
– A family of chemicals used widely in electrical equipment until their ban in 1979, PCBs persists in the environment and can contaminate fish and other food. They accumulate in animal fats, so are prevalent in farmed salmon (which is fattier than wild salmon), beef, eggs, chicken, cheese and butter.
- Organophosphate pesticides
– These include such common insecticides as malathion, parathion, diazinon and chlorpyrifos.
- Organochlorine pesticides
– These include lindane, a common lice treatment and endosulfan.
- Endocrine disruptors
– Chemicals that interfere with the endocrine system come in a variety of forms. Some, such as dioxin and PCBs, have been linked to definitive health problems. Others, such as the plasticizer BPA, are suspected of having health effects at low exposure levels.
- Automotive exhaust
- Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH)
– A byproduct of incomplete combustion, exposure to PAH has been linked to a range of health problems, including anxiety and behavioral issues in children.
- Brominated flame retardants
– These chemicals are purported to protect consumers from fire dangers. They are found in a wide range of consumer products, such as children’s pajamas, mattresses, couches, car seats, strollers and nursing pillows. Some have been proven harmful and phased out; others are still in use.
- Perfluorinated compounds
– These are stain and stick resistant chemicals. Think Teflon, Gore-Tex, up holster treatments and dental floss. It’s embedded in the fibers of some brands to make it slide more easily through the teeth.
