Teratogenesis and mutagenesis associated with the exposure of human males to lead: a review.

Major sectors of the lead-related industries have traditionally supported the view that the exposure of human males and females to lead is associated with significantly different reproductive-related risks. This review examines selected data pertaining to teratogenesis and mutagenesis associated with the exposure of human males to lead. The existing body of epidemiologic data examining reproductive-related effects associated with lead exposure of human males is relatively sparse and incomplete. Data findings are also conflicting. On the basis of selected available data, however, the exposure of human males to lead may be associated with significant reproductive-related harms. Too little attention has been directed by the scientific community toward possible reproductive-related effects of lead exposure on human males. There is a strong need for further good studies

Right to Know Legislation in Minnesota

In June 1983, Minnesota approved a right to know law pertaining to the disclosure of information to workers about chemical hazards emanating from the workplace. A federal hazard communication disseminated in November 1983 may affect Minnesota\u27s right to know law
