Professionally and non-professionally applied household insecticides during pregnancy and early life and their associations with autism spectrum disorder and developmental delay in the CHARGE case-control study
Professionally applied indoor insecticides were consistently associated with ASD. The strong trend of increased odds with more frequent exposures, additional evidence for DD, and widespread use of household insecticides support increased regulatory scrutiny and public health interventions to minimize exposure during critical developmental windows.
