title: Exposure to hazardous substances and reproductive health. Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry.
abstract: The extent to which environmental or occupational chemical exposures affect reproductive health remains largely unknown. Teratogenic effects usually take place during critical periods of organogenesis. Common concerns of patients include the possible effects of drinking contaminated water on the fetus as well as the breast-fed infant, and the possible effects of a chemical exposure on fertility and pregnancy.
