Risk of spontaneous abortion in workers exposed to toluene / Tze Pin Ng, Swee Cheng Foo, Theresa Yoong
Sumario: Several epidemiological studies have suggested increased risk of spontaneous abortion in association with exposure to organic solvents in various occupations, such as painting, dry cleaning, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and laboratory work, although negative results have also been reported. Toluene is a common solvent used either singly or in solvent mixtures in many industrial processes, and many women in the reproductive age group are exposed. Here the authors report the results of a study of the risk of spontaneous abortions in a group of women involved in the manufacture of audio speakers who were exposed only to toluene
