This publication summarizes discussions and presentations from that workshop … Because neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders … cannot be fully explained by genetic risk factors alone, understanding the role of individual environmental chemical exposures is critical …” – The web link to the proceedings is included in the post on the home page of Plastic Food Packaging Waste News www.pfpw.news at https://pfpw.news/2020/11/12/effects-of-environmental-influences-on-brain-health-and-disease-studied/
