There are approximately 1,000 substances that, if you are exposed to them, may result in brain injury. Here is a brief list of some of the more common substances:

Carbon Monoxide: Exposure to carbon monoxide can occur in many homes due to improperly installed furnaces, insufficient ventilation, etc. Inhaling carbon monoxide will render you unconscious and may lead to death. Survivors of carbon monoxide poisoning may suffer damages including depression, headaches, incontinence, decreased mental capacity, dementia and permanent brain injury.

Lead: Children are more at risk of being poisoned by lead. Older homes, antique furniture, etc., may be painted with lead based products, and children who ingest these products (through teething, curiosity and so on) may develop neurological problems such as decreased motor skills. Prolonged exposure to lead based products may lead to permanent injury.

Manganese: Exposure to manganese over a long period of time can lead to brain damage, including drowsiness, tremors, decreased mental capability, dizziness and nightmares and sleep disturbance.

Mercury: Exposure to mercury may result in breathing problems, decreased motor skills, lack of coordination, tremors, decreased mental alertness or even death.

Pesticides: Exposure to pesticides may lead to headaches, blurred vision, impaired motor skills, difficulty breathing, confusion, organ failure or even death.

Solvents: Chemicals found in solvents such as paint thinners and glue can lead to brain damage, including visual problems, memory and attention deficits, lack of sense of smell, balance problems, headaches, confusion and dementia.
