Effects on Reproduction of Tri- and Tetrachloroethylene

摘要

This report is the result of a project established by the Nordic ChemicalsControl Group under the Nordic Council of Ministers. The project plan was accepted by the Control Group in September 1987. The intention of the project is to provide a proposal for scientific criteria for classification of reproductive toxic substances. A harmonized system for classification and hazard labelling of reproductive toxic substances and products was considered to be of great importance by the working group. For the evaluation of the proposed criteria the working group decided to assess the reproductive hazards of different compounds based upon current knowledge. In future endeavours, which will assess the reproductive toxic risk of these compounds to humans, the information presented in these reports will be useful.
