Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other neurodevelopmental disorders could be triggered by air pollution, including the type emitted in car exhaust, a new study suggested — though it had some limitations.
The review, led by Hebrew University of Jerusalem, analyzed multiple studies related to autism and cellular activity. The findings were published in the journal Brain Medicine.
The researchers focused on four specific types of particles that make up air pollution: fine particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxides (NO, NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2) and ozone (O3).

Symptoms typically begin slowly and develop through three stages: the freezing stage, frozen stage and thawing stage, according to the same source.
The freezing stage, which involves pain in the shoulder and limited movement, can last anywhere from two to nine months, Mayo Clinic states.
The frozen stage can bring some pain relief, but the shoulder can become stiffer. This can last from four to 12 months.
The final thawing stage is when shoulder mobility begins to improve, lasting up to 24 months.
