Abstract The questions frequently addressed directly to INRS or transmitted through the CRAT (Information centre for teratogenic agents) in the context of a common prospective programme having begun in 1995 led to a review of human epidemiological studies on occupational exposure to solvents among pregnant women published between 1980 and 1997. A total of 28 studies focussed on occupations or activity sectors and 20 focussed on solvents are analysed.
