Background: Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) offer a promising avenue for individuals with severe motor disabilities to interact with the world. By decoding brain signals, BCIs can enable users to control devices and communicate thoughts. However, challenges such as noise in EEG signals and limited data availability hinder the development of accurate and reliable BCI systems.

Human biomonitoring (HBM) data indicate that exposure to pyrethroids is widespread in Europe, with significantly higher exposure observed in children compared to adults. Epidemiological, toxicological, and mechanistic studies raise concerns for potential human health effects, particularly, behavioral effects such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children at low levels of exposure. Based on an exposure-response function from a single European study and on available quality-assured and harmonized HBM data collected in France, Germany, Iceland, Switzerland, and Israel, a preliminary estimate of the environmental burden of disease for ADHD associated with pyrethroid exposure was made for individuals aged 0-19 years.
