Hormone Toxicity in the Newborn

Abstract

A variety of inorganic and organic chemical compounds and heavy metals are toxic to the fetus and the neonate. Of the total number of chemicals available in the US (perhaps 55,000) only about 3,000 have been tested for teratogenic effects. Perhaps about 1,000 are animal teratogens, and some 14 chemicals (or classes of chemicals) have been definitely shown to be human teratogens (Baum, 1987). One of the problems associated with determining which chemicals are human teratogens, or affect the reproductive function, is the difficulty of measuring that function in humans. Of necessity all parameters used, whether they be libido, menstruation patterns, sperm count, mutation or postnatal development, are very variable; only the sperm count can be expressed in meaningful numbers.
