| Abstract |
A case report is presented of a pregnant laboratory technician who suffered intrauterine growth retardation and stillbirth following exposure to N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. Animal studies have demonstrated that this solvent is embryotoxic after maternal exposure to doses that have minimal or no adverse effect on the mother. Laboratory work and solvent exposure have both been previously associated with adverse reproductive outcomes. Laboratory health policies should allow for voluntary removal of prospective parents in situations of possible exposure. |
