Researchers seeking the roots of autism have linked the disorder to chemicals in air pollution and, in a separate study, found that language difficulties of the disorder may be due to a disconnect in brain wiring.

Researchers from Harvard University’s School of Public Health found that pregnant women exposed to high levels of diesel particulates or mercury were twice as likely to have an autistic child compared with peers in low-pollution areas. The findings, published today in Environmental Health Perspectives, are from the largest U.S. study to examine the ties between air pollution and autism. …

The link to air pollution was initially made in 2006 by a group led by Gayle Windham at the California Department of Health Services. Another study, published in November 2012, also found links between air pollution and autism.

“People were skeptical” of the initial report from Windham’s group, said Marc Weisskopf, an author of today’s study and an associate professor of environmental health and epidemiology at Harvard University’s School of Public Health in Boston. “I went to do this in a larger setting, not at all convinced we would see anything.”

This is a real reason to go over to renewables. Coal and oil smog maybe the cause... This is a solid reason to go over to wind, solar, wave, hydro, nuclear, etc. This problem is becoming a real problem within our society.

This is no longer about global warming my conservative friends.

Nuclear
Wind of all kinds
Hydro
Nuclear
Solar
Wave
Thermal(from the heat of the earth)

No more coal and let's push clean cars a little harder for our children.

I'm dead certain the methodology of this "study" is flawed.

Why don't you have a link to it?

How was the quantity "high air pollution" determined?

From your "study:"

Autism Tied to Air Pollution, Brain-Wiring Disconnection - Bloomberg

Using data from the Environmental Protection Agency, researchers estimated the women’s exposure to toxins, a method Weisskopf said is imperfect. Many of the compounds travel together in the air, so separating their contributions was difficult. What’s more, the EPA data is taken once every four years, so it’s an imprecise way of estimating exposure, and doesn’t take into account women’s contact from traveling to places other than their homes.

“There’s a lot of error in estimating what the mother’s exposed to,” he said. His study is large enough to suggest follow-up studies with more precise methods of detecting chemicals in the air, he said.

Welcome to the Nurses? Health Study | Nurses' Health Study

Why shouldn't we replace coal with nuclear, hydro, wind, solar, thermal, wave?

Sorry bout that,

1. I call *bullshit*!!!!!
2. Its the amount of drugs, viruses and shit America pumps into the children, and anywhere in the world where they follow our system.
3. *Fuck You Bastards* who inject the little children, and burn up their heads!!!!!

Nuclear and hydro? fine. Wind, solar, thermal, wave? Because they're a joke. They cost several times what coal costs, and they are simply not reliable.
