Subtle consequences of prenatal exposure to low carbon disulphide levels.
Exposure by inhalation of pregnant albino rats to 10 and 0.03 mg/m3 carbon disulphide (CS2) does not produce congenital malformations or functional biochemical changes in the neonate, but it affects the postnatal development, causing at 10 mg/m3 impairment of viability, retardation of morphological and sensory development and behavioral deviations (the latter at both exposure levels). These changes are more pronounced in the early postnatal life.
