<abstract displayLabel="Summary">In a case-referent study on mental retardation and parental occupation, detailed information on exposure was collected by means of personal interviews with the parents. Mental retardation is a developmental defect of the central nervous system with a prevalence of about 3% in school age children; the causes include several genetic and pre, peri, and postnatal factors. The interview focused on the hypothesised exogenic risk factors for mental retardation, such as parental exposure to lead, methylmercury, alcohol and other organic sovents, and ionising radiation. Other potentially hazardous occupational and non-occupational exposures were also taken into account. As a result of this study, several agents could be indicated as possible occupational risk factors for mental retardation in offspring</abstract>
