Abstract

PESTAB. A review is presented of the literature on major studies on pesticides. The metabolic studies in teratogenicity screening for such substances as methylmercury, carbaryl, dioxin, and the carbamates are given. Investigations reporting on the organochlorine group of insecticides, the halogenated benzenes, the carbamates and the phenoxyacid herbicides are listed. Areas of concentration are the distribution, metabolism, perinatal toxicity, and food safety evaluation of these major groups.
