Higher lithium levels in drinking water may raise autism risk JAMAPeds
indicated lithium, which is among several naturally occurring metals often found in water, could affect an important molecular pathway involved in neurodevelopment and autism.
Ritz and Liew worked with Danish researchers who analyzed lithium levels in 151 public waterworks in Denmark, representing the water supply for about half of the country's population. To identify which waterworks supplied mothers' homes at the time of their pregnancy, the researchers used address information from Denmark's comprehensive civil registry system.
As lithium levels increased, so did the risk of an autism diagnosis, the researchers reported. Compared to the lowest quartile of recorded lithium levels—in other words, those in the 25th percentile—lithium levels in the second and third quartiles were associated with a 24-26% higher risk of autism. In the highest quartile, the risk was 46% higher compared to the lowest quartile.
