Objective:
The unifying theme of the Center for Childhood Neurotoxicology and Assessment is to determine the influence of exposure to neurotoxicants on child neurological health and development, with autism and related learning disabilities as a focus. The objectives of the Center are to detect, understand, and prevent environmental health problems as they relate to children. These objectives are achieved by facilitating interdisciplinary research, enhancing community and advocacy group involvement, and disseminating results to the public through publications, conferences, and community outreach.
The multidisciplinary research of the Center is based on three main project areas. The Basic Sciences Projects examine facets of brain development, beginning with neurogenesis and proceeding through to behavior in the intact animal. The Clinical Sciences Projects are interactive with community groups representing children with learning disabilities and their families, with particular emphasis on autism. These projects explore the linkage between environmental neurotoxicants, clinical course of autism, regional brain growth, and a possible new gene-environment interaction with autism. The Exposure Assessment and Intervention Project (EAIP) will characterize the personal, residential, and general community of exposure of children selected by the Clinical Sciences Projects. The EAIP then will determine the need for interventions to reduce neurotoxicant exposure among learning-disabled children and assess the impact of such interventions. The Exposure Assessment Facility Core will provide innovative video techniques to assess the relationship between the behavior of the child with autism and his/her potential to contact with neurotoxicants. The overall mission of the Center is to improve environmental and public health of children through research, assessment, treatment, and outreach.
Progress Summary:
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS)/U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Center for Childhood Neurotoxicology and Exposure Assessment has completed the first 3 years of the grant. The Center is assuming a prominent position in the environmental and autism communities of New Jersey and regionally.
The Center’s research is progressing well and has been a very positive force in the academic and lay communities. The Center has attracted additional researchers into studying the relationships between environmental chemicals and autism.
The Center was developed in conjunction with the community, and community involvement has increased through lectures, newspaper articles, and the addition of community members involved in the research. The Center has had extensive opportunities to discuss and instruct the general community and, in particular the autism community, about the concerns of environmental chemicals on child development. This risk communication has been done in a frank and careful discussion of the literature, describing what is known, not known, and what needs further research. It also describes how to decrease children’s exposure to environmental chemicals. The community has appreciated the Center’s role in this effort. The Center also has taken a lead in providing information to Congress on issues effecting children’s environmental health.
The Center has been acknowledged by the Center’s members in 16 published articles and more than 16 abstracts in the first 3 years. The members have been active participants and leaders in many research conferences, both locally and nationally. The Center members have applied to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for additional grants that will expand greatly the capacity of the Center. These grants build the Center’s capacity by including additional child cohorts (Dr. Shalat’s Mexican Border population and Dr. Lambert’s studies in Taiwan), a new Pediatric Clinical Research Center with emphasis on environmental studies, and additional basic science efforts.
Scientific and Community Outreach Meetings
The Center has been active in outreach to the scientific and lay community. The major Center meeting was held in conjunction with NIEHS and the University of California at Davis (UC-Davis) Children’s Environmental Health Center. The meeting “Autism, Genes and The Environment” was held October 3-4, 2003, in New Jersey, and drew 199 scientists from almost all the major universities in the Northeast and more than 100 parents from as far away as Hawaii. The meeting successfully reframed the questions of autism and the environment. This meeting will be held on an annual basis, rotated between the New Jersey Center and the California Children’s Center as lead institution. The next meeting will be held in the spring of 2004 as a satellite of the International Meeting for Autism Research (IMFAR) to be held at the University of California.
The Center also is planning a National Town Meeting for Children during the week of Earth Day 2004. The primary goals of the meeting are to: (1) explore with the children the state of their environment and what they can do to improve it; and (2) identify environmental science careers and what education is needed to enter these fields. The NIEHS, EPA, U.S. Geological Survey, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Chemistry Council all have agreed to participate. The next planning meeting will be held in August in Washington, DC, with all of the agencies participating.
The Center also is working with the UC-Davis Center in helping to organize a component of the University of Arkansas’ Annual Neurotoxicology meeting being held in Hawaii, in February 2004. The two NIEHS/EPA Centers are organizing one session featuring research from the 12 NIEHS/EPA Children’s Centers and another one on autism, possibly in a town meeting format. The Center continues to attend many local community autism meetings in New Jersey to present the issues of children and the environment with childhood autism as the focus. Dr. Lambert was privileged make a presentation at the NIEHS Children’s Environmental Health Symposium in Bethesda, Maryland, this past winter and at several of the NIEHS meetings held at both Yale University and EPA in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.
Congressional Outreach
The Center has taken on a role of educating Congress on children’s environmental health issues. Dr. Lambert participated in a senate briefing (sponsored by Senators Kennedy, Reed, and Clinton and Physicians for Social Responsibility) on health disease tracking for environmental linkage. Dr. Lambert discussed autism and the environment. This was a highly successful meeting. Dr. Lambert just recently has obtained agreement from Senator Corzine (D-NJ) and Representative Chris Smith’s (R-NJ) Office to be the lead cosponsors of an annual congressional briefing on children’s environmental health. The first one is being planned for late winter or early spring 2005.
Message of the Center’s Director
A main message of the Center is that children with neurological dysfunction (as represented by children with autism) are at risk from environmental chemicals. In fact, they may be at greater risk because of their local environment (older schools, etc.), behavior (mouthing, etc.), end organ susceptibility, and the effects of environmental chemicals on the children’s capacity to function. Despite this, there has been very little effort to study the effects of environmental chemicals on these most susceptible children. The Center’s Basic and Clinical research is addressing these issues in a collaborative/interactive effort. The Center has reached out to the community to inform them of the issues and needs to reduce exposure of these children to environmental chemicals and methods that parents can use to reduce children’s exposure.
