Adverse effects of Pentachlorophenol on fertility and reproduction : a literature study
book
According to a study in animals described by Schwetz et al. (1974), pentachlorophenol induces embryotoxic and teratogenic effects whereas Welsh et al. (1987) reported embryolethal effects. Further any animal and human data with respect to endocrine system, gonads and fertility are lacking. Data on offspring are inadequate for evaluation. It is therefore concluded that a NEAL could not be assessed and that further studies are necessary. There is reason to reassess the present MAC (0.5 mg/m3).
