Smoking While Pregnant, Lead Exposure Linked To ADHD
Written by Rick Nauert PhD Tuesday, 24 November 2009 09:59
Mothers who smoke while pregnant more than double the risk of having a child who will be later diagnosed with attention deficit disorder (ADHD).
The new study also estimated that if pregnant women stopped smoking, up to one-fifth of children could avoid an eventual ADHD diagnosis. The risk of ADHD is even higher if the child was also exposed to lead paint, or high levels of lead from soil or old water pipes. -- Courtesy of Psychcentral.com
