Numerous chemical substances are handled by persons working in the health care sector. At exposure levels that may occur in the occupational setting, some of these substances are potentially harmful to the reproductive processes. Among the potentially harmful substances are anesthetic gases, antineoplastic agents, and sterilants. The epidemiological evidence of increased risks for adverse reproductive effects (eg, subfertility, spontaneous abortions, congenital defects) from such exposure is not unequivocal. However, due to the toxic potential, exposures should be kept at a minimum, and this may be especially important for workers who are pregnant or are planning to achieve pregnancy.
医疗保健行业的工作人员会接触到多种化学物质。在职业环境中可能出现的接触水平下，其中一些物质可能对生殖过程有害。潜在有害物质包括麻醉气体、抗肿瘤药物和消毒剂。关于此类接触导致不良生殖影响（如生育力低下、自然流产、先天性缺陷）风险增加的流行病学证据并不明确。然而，鉴于其潜在毒性，应尽量减少接触，这对怀孕或计划怀孕的工人可能尤为重要。
