The Issue

I am personally diagnosed with autism and experience learning difficulties that I should not have. After reading a scientific research study from 2008, I was deeply saddened and wondered why governments haven't enforced stronger regulations around mass production pollution. The de novo gene, which is directly impacted by pollution, plays a significant role in the autism genes. The autism gene, part of our DNA for over half a billion years, is now under threat, experiencing damage from mutations due to the vast amounts of pollution we're generating.

Many individuals are aware that pollution is harmful, but few understand its severe effects on our genetic makeup, particularly on the de novo gene. When mutated, this gene not only contributes to autism disorders but can also cause severe learning difficulties and even cancer. The rising levels of pollution are accelerating the rates of these mutations, which are contributing to a range of health challenges.

It's crucial to reduce pollution levels to prevent further damage to human genes, which are pivotal for healthy human development. It's time to advocate for stricter environmental policies to limit mass production emissions significantly. Governments must prioritize research and educate the public on the profound implications of pollution on genetic health. Not only are millions of people affected by this and run the risk having more children with severe disabilities, animals are also affected. Mutations can occur in every living being with genes, so they can't withstand such huge amounts of pollution either. When the De Novo genes become mutated from pollution, they impact many different parts of neurology and also physical problems which turn into disabilities. It affects cognitive and learning impairments, communication, restricted or repetitive behaviours, cerebral palsy, severely delayed motor milestones, muscle tone, coordination, epilepsy and seizure disorders, and can also cause schizophrenia and personality disorders. Again, millions of people would not be born with these things if we reduced the amount of pollution in our atmosphere.

Our future generations depend on the actions we take today. If no serious measures are adopted, we risk increasing these genetic mutations which may lead to a manifold rise in disabilities and health issues. By supporting this petition, you will be voicing a critical demand for transformative policies that ensure industry accountability and prioritize human well-being.
