SUMMARY:“40 Million IQ Points: The neurological cost of smokestack and tailpipe pollution.”
DESCRIPTION:Open Spaces Committee of the Austin City Council\, first floor room TBA\, will hear these remarks from Dr. Jules R. Elkins PhD –\n \n\n$1\,000\,000\,000\,000. That is the current annual cost of IQ loss due to lead exposure in developing nations. Mercury costs the U.S. $1.3 billion annually in lost productivity from US power plant emissions alone. The cost of lost IQ points due to exposure to industrial chemicals that harm the developing human brain is thought to be in the hundreds of billions of dollars a year.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo be clear\, existing science does not establish a clear causal relationship between industrial chemical exposure and neurodevelopmental delay for most potentially neurotoxic chemicals. This standard of scientific proof\, however\, has left an entire generation of American children exposed to elevated lead levels. We’ve known methylmercury is neurotoxic since 1972\, but it is still being emitted widely. And now\, 1 in 6 American children has a neurodevelopmental impairment. But again these are simply statistical associations. We may know that exposure to certain chemicals is associated with increased risk of harm\, but correlation is not proof of harm. However\, the stakes are extraordinary. While we are gathering scientific evidence\, a potential generation of American children may be suffering neurologic harm from industrial chemicals.\n \n\nLet’s turn the lens to where we live. Smart city growth is not a war between regulation and prosperity. Austin is growing rapidly\, and sits at an important crossroads. McKinsey Global Institute has robustly found that leaders who make important strides in improving their cities\, no matter their starting point\, do three things really well – they achieve smart growth\, do more with less\, and win support for change. Smart growth means integrating the environment into economic decision making.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJules Elkins\, PhD\nLecturer\, Department of Geography and the Environment University of Texas at Austin
