Abstract
The study sought to determine whether childhood exposure to environmental pollutants explains unique variance in executive function (EF) in emerging adults after accounting for SES. Number of high-level pollutant exposures was inversely related to EF after accounting for SES. SES and pollutant exposure uniquely account for variance in EF measures.
