Environmental hazards and neurodevelopment : where ecology and well-being connect

Environmental hazards and neurodevelopment : where ecology and well-being connect / edited by Cindy Croft.

This title includes a number of Open Access chapters. The rate of identification of children with neurobiological disabilities has been on the increase in recent years. Millions of dollars in research are being spent to understand the factors influencing these increases. The articles within this com...
