| Abstract |
Results of animal experiments carried out with a view to investigating the effects of low concentrations of halothane (1,1,1-trifluoro-2-chloro-2-bromoethane), an inhalation anaesthetic, on the gonads, embryo and foetus. Halothane affects the gonads in both male and female rats, and the gonadotoxic effect is proportional to the concentration of the anaesthetic. Embryotoxic and teratogenic effects were observed neither in rats nor in mice. A threshold limit value of 20mg/m3 was established for halothane. |
