ABSTRACT

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurological disorder in children. The main symptoms are inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity behavior, accompanied by learning difficulties and cognitive impairment. Symptoms can persist into adulthood [1]. According to the latest statistics, the prevalence of ADHD in children worldwide has exceeded 10% and is on the rise, which will bring great adverse effects on patients' normal life and study [2]. In recent years, the effects of environmental factors on neural development have caused the attention of people, a number of surveys, children with acute or long-term exposure to heavy metals such as plumbum, manganese will usually leave a permanent neurological sequelae, including attention deficit, emotional tendency and behavioral responses. The main influencing factor of ADHD is environment. This review mainly discusses and summarizes the environmental factors that may influence the incidence of ADHD.
