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

Environmental pollutants such as lead, mercury, and pesticides interfere with brain development, yet we do not test industrial chemicals for brain toxicity. In this book, Philippe Grandjean argues for the necessity of protecting the brains of future generations and proposes a plan of action to halt...
