Next Steps for Clinical Neurotoxicology

Clinical neurotoxicology is a heavy weight on those few who practice it. There are probably more than 1000 substantially neurotoxic substances, with exposure annually worldwide in the tens to hundreds of millions of people. Lead toxicity alone is reported as responsible for more than 1 million deaths yearly and devastates entire populations in cognitive development. Neurotoxic exposures may span all levels of society and the lifespan, although the developing nervous system has special risks. There are many examples of inequity in exposure risk, such as the lead exposure catastrophe of Flint, Michigan.
