Abstract

Based on my previous paper on Autism, I wonder if it wasn’t caused in Danny M by DDT (dichloro, di methyl trichloroethane) which was used as an insecticide.  Danny M grew up in a faming area which may have Refer to: Cusack PTE. On Autism: One Case. Adv Clin Toxicol 2021, 6(2): 000214 Acetylcholine is replaced by a chlorine from DDT. Autism therefore may have been caused by DDT spraying.

I think it is worth fit for someone to explore the connection. The report states that at least 5.7 million kg of DDT were sprayed on New Brunswick forests between 1952 and 1968. In comparison, Quebec used less than one million kg during the same time period. "New Brunswick was ground zero for DDT to fight outbreaks of forest insects," Kurek said. Source Bing AI

DDT [Dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane] : 네이버 블로그

Dichloro- Di Methyl – Trichloroethane (DDT)

Also, I came into contract with a man in his 60’s who was recently diagnosed with Dementia.  He worked at a pulp and paper mill when he was in his 20’s. He may have been exposed to cresol there New Brunswick was sprayed with an insecticide to kill the Spruce Budworm in the 1960’s. He has lived downwind of an Oil-fired Power Plant for the last 2 years The disease runs in his family. They all lived in rural New Brunswick, which was sprayed with DDT, especially for the Military Base, Camp Gagetown.  DDT may be a cause of Alzheimer’s.

Regarding its use in pulp and paper mills, cresol is not commonly used in the kraft process, which is the most common method for producing pulp2. However, cresol can be found in some of the chemicals used in the pulping process1
