  • Environmental and genetic factors play a role in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), with particular emphasis on maternal stress during pregnancy and its potential impact on the likelihood of having a child with ASD.
  • An exploratory study assessed the relationship between maternal antibodies, prenatal stress levels, and ASD diagnosis in children by analyzing blood samples from 53 mothers with at least one child with ASD.
  • Findings showed no significant correlation between maternal stress and antibody presence, suggesting that although both factors are linked to ASD, they may operate independently rather than through a shared mechanism, warranting further investigation with a larger sample size.

An experimental chamber (CIME2) has been specially designed to simulate wet atmospheric deposition on limestones used in Paris cultural heritage. This instrument is a complementary tool to CIME, a previously developed chamber dedicated to the simulation of dry atmospheric deposition on monuments and artifacts. The aim of this paper is to describe CIME2 and characterize the wet deposits produced inside it.
