| Abstract |
This volume contains reviews of 26 chemicals of industrial interest, about half of which are solvents to which there is wide exposure, three major drugs of addiction (heroin, cocaine, morphine) and methadone. Also included are CEC guidelines for the Evaluation of Reproductive Toxicity. Each monograph provides a general introduction to the chemistry and uses of the chemical followed by a brief review of general toxicity, kinetics and metabolism and detailed reviews of animal and human data on reproductive effects (endocrine and gonadal effects, fertility and pregnancy studies). |
