Neurodegenerative diseases neurotoxic effects

There is worldwide concern about the potential neurotoxic effects of chemical substances but only a small fraction of chemicals have been adequately evaluated for neurotoxicity (WHO/IPCS 2001a). Of particular concern is the possibility of a relationship between exposures to low levels of environmental chemicals and effects on neurobehavioral development in children and neurodegenerative diseases in the elderly. [Pg.140]

The term neurotoxin applies to a variety of substances that can affect the nervous system producing a broad variety of effects usually harmful to human health, although in some cases these substances can be of therapeutic use. Neurotoxic compounds are occasionally present in food and beverages, and consumption of contaminated products may therefore contribute to the etiology of certain psychiatric disorders or neurodegenerative diseases in humans. Three different main groups of... [Pg.4869]
