Abstract

Neurological disorders in children form developmental delay to autism spectrum disorders all have links to their environment. This case study focuses on neurotoxins in the form of air pollution, heavy metal, and chemicals as causes of neurological damage in children. It shows that low-income and rural populations are more exposed to hurricanes than high-income and urban ones, which is a subject for separate analysis. In next steps to build on this work more multifaceted prevention interventions need to be developed in terms of reducing exposure as well as improving health in targeted groups of older adults. The outcomes show the stipulation in the neurological future of the children require that there ought to be rational policies in place.
