Child neurodevelopment disorders like autism are becoming more common. Recent work indicates almost all pregnant mothers in Australia harbour plastic chemicals – bisphenols and phthalates and foetus is also exposed. Human evidence is emerging that higher exposure to plastics during pregnancy may be associated with these disorders. Randomised controlled trials are not possible so high quality birth cohort studies, as proposed here, are required to investigate this issue comprehensively.

像自闭症这样的儿童神经发育障碍正变得越来越普遍。最近的研究表明，澳大利亚几乎所有怀孕的母亲都含有塑料化学品--双酚和邻苯二甲酸盐，胎儿也会接触到。越来越多的人类证据表明，怀孕期间较高的塑料暴露可能与这些疾病有关。随机对照试验是不可能的，因此需要高质量的出生队列研究来全面调查这一问题。
