Title Development of two generations of progeny from female animals exposed to dichloroethane

Bibliographic information July 1974, No.7, p.25-28. Illus. 4 ref.
Abstract Long-term inhalation experiments with pregnant rats exposed to 57±10mg/m3 of dichloroethane failed to show general toxic effects. However, fertility and the weight of new-born animals were reduced, and the still-birth rate was higher. The progeny of the first and second generations was less viable.
