Heavy Metal Exposure and Neurodevelopmental Disorders in Children: A Comprehensive Review
Subhalaxmi Nayak, Neha Karn
Abstract: Heavy metal exposure poses a significant threat to neurodevelopment in children. Numerous studies have highlighted the potential association between toxic metal accumulation and neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and cognitive impairments. This review synthesizes findings from recent literature to provide an updated understanding of how environmental exposure to heavy metals such as lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), and arsenic (As) impacts child neurodevelopment, particularly in vulnerable populations.
