| Summary: | Reproductive toxicology is a subject of crucial importance to future generations. Toxic exposure of the developing embryo is a well-recognized problem, but it is also necessary to consider the effects of certain chemicals prior to conception, both in humans and in animals. The mechanisms and routes of the biological action need to be established. The book surveys the effects of chemical substances on female and male reproductive systems. Both the legislative and regulatory positions are summarized. Whilst the EC is currently preparing legislation to control exposures to pregnant and nursing mothers, equal attention is required for similar hazards to males. More than 1000 references guide the reader to the current international literature. Physicians, epidemiologists, toxicologists, chemists, and biologists in academia, industry, government and UN agencies will find in this book an invaluable survey of modern thinking on reproductive toxicology |
