Environmental chemicals and nervous system dysfunction

T Damstra. Yale J Biol Med. 1978 Jul-Aug.

Abstract

Selected examples of associations between nervous system diseases and exposures to occupational and environmental chemicals have been reviewed. Recent outbreaks of human neurotoxicity from both wellknown and previously unknown toxicants reemphasize the need for the medical community to give increased attention to chemical causes of nervous system dysfunction.
