Library Item Name:

Mercury Exposure, Autism Linked In Study 		   
Summary Statement:

A newly-published study of Texas school district data and industrial mercury-release data, conducted by researchers at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, shows a "statistically significant link" between pounds of industrial release of mercury and increased autism rates.

It also shows — for the first time in scientific literature — a statistically significant association between autism risk and distance from the mercury source.
