Adverse effects of organic solvents on fertility and reproduction ; a critical review
book
From this literature survey it appeared that there is a considerable lack of information with respect to organic solvents both of human and laboratory animal fertility and reproduction: only xylene is reasonable studied in animals. Since human exposures to a number of organic solvents is widespread and there are at least indications from both human and animal data that exposure may induce prenatal mortality (abortion) and developmental disorders, it is recommended that additional animal studies should be conducted with a number of widely used solvents. Further, effects of exposure to a combination of solvents on fertility and reproduction of laboratory animals should also be studied.
