| Resumen |
Exposure to styrene is reported to cause an increase in spontaneous abortion and an increased frequency of structural chromosomal abnormalities in adults. There is currently insufficient evidence to determine the carcinogenicity of styrene, although styrene oxide is probably carcinogenic. Toluene sniffing during pregnancy is reported to cause malformation of the foetus at high concentrations. At low concentrations, toluene is a reproductive toxicant affecting the hormone balance in adults and development of the foetus. Human data suggest that exposure to solvents during pregnancy may cause congenital malformations and spontaneous abortions, although no firm conclusions on the contribution of xylene can be made. |
