From a number of disasters which have already occurred throughout the world, it is known that the reproductive process in both animals and man may be severely affected by chemicals. The range of effects that might occur include not only foetal death or malformation, but also effects on the subsequent development, behaviour, intelligence and reproductive capacity of offspring which appear otherwise normal at birth. The special sensitivity of the foetus to some environmental carcinogens is also discussed. Some of the problems in screening for such effects in animals are mentioned along with the need for adequate monitoring programmes to detect reproductive toxicity both from industrial exposure to chemicals and from more general environmental exposure.
从世界各地已经发生的一些灾难可知，动物和人类的生殖过程都可能受到化学物质的严重影响。可能出现的影响范围不仅包括胎儿死亡或畸形，还包括对出生时看似正常的后代随后的发育、行为、智力和生殖能力的影响。文中还讨论了胎儿对某些环境致癌物的特殊敏感性。同时提到了在动物中筛查此类影响的一些问题，以及建立适当监测计划以检测工业化学品暴露和更广泛环境暴露所导致的生殖毒性的必要性。
