Abstract |
This article reviews relations between occupational exposure and pregnancy outcome in the case of vinyl chloride, chloroprene, benzene, anaesthetic gases, radiation and petroleum-derived hydrocarbons. The best documented example of risks to the offspring appears to be increased abortion rates in female operating room personnel exposed to anaesthetic gases in the first trimester of pregnancy. Generally speaking, there is very little evidence of impaired pregnancy or hazards to offspring. Investigations should include smoking, alcohol and drug exposures among their criteria. |
