Only One Chance: How Environmental Pollution Impairs Brain Development --and How to Protect the Brains of the Next Generation-
|
Description:
Today, one out of every six children suffers from some form of neurodevelopmental abnormality. The causes are mostly unknown. Some environmental chemicals (including pesticides) are known to cause brain damage and many more are suspected of it, but few have been tested for such effects. In this film eminent scientist and author Philippe Grandjean provides an authoritative and engaging analysis of how environmental hazards can damage brain development and what we can do about it. Dr. Philippe Grandjean, Adjunct Professor of Environmental Health at Harvard School of Public Health shares in very plain language-the latest research on the profound impacts of pollution on fetal brain development and ultimately on human society as a whole. He tells the truth about how we have been ruining the brain power of each new generation and asks if there are still enough intelligent people in the world today to reverse the problem. He explains why and how society must intervene to prevent exposures now and in the years ahead.
