Only One Chance: How Environmental Pollution Impairs Brain Development -- And How to Protect the Brains of the Next Generation

By Philippe Grandjean

Book Overview

Today, one out of every six children suffers from some form of neurodevelopmental abnormality. The causes are mostly unknown. Some environmental chemicals are known to cause brain damage and many more are suspected of it, but few have been tested for such effects. Philippe Grandjean provides an authoritative and engaging analysis of how environmental hazards can damage brain development and what we can do about it.
