Heavy Metal in Children’s Tooth Enamel: Related to Autism and Disruptive Behaviors?

Abstract: To examine possible links between neurotoxicant exposure and neuropsychological disorders and child behavior, relative concentrations of lead, mercury, and manganese were examined in prenatal and postnatal enamel regions of deciduous teeth from children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs), high levels of disruptive behavior (HDB), and typically developing (TD) children. Using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, we found no significant differences in levels of these neurotoxicants for… Show more

“…The laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) technique is particularly useful for in-situ analyses of trace elements for applications requiring understanding of the spatial variation of elemental content within the sample [14,25,[45][46][47][48][49].…”
