REF: source for occupational risks in pregnancy: msg#00438

Subject: REF: source for occupational risks in pregnancy

Medlibbers,
My last search on breast MRI for high risk women without genetic/familial
risk is still in the airwaves, but here is a new one:

Any risks for a pregnant women in the printing business? My patron assumes
this would be inhalation of chemicals below.

petroleum naphtha CAS # 64742-47-8 or 64742-95-6
dipropylene glycol methyl ether CAS#34590-94-8
p-mentha-1-8-diene CAS # 5989-27-5 (comes up as d-Limonene on TOXNET)

I haven't really been able to make the connection with work as a printer,
as these chemicals are used in a lot of places. Tried PubMed, TOXNET,
though I'm not that great at it, specifically DART, and Google.
Also have Zenz Occupational Medicine,3rd ed 1994, which does have a
section on "glycol ethers" in the Reproductive Toxicology chapter.


If anyone has a textbook, my patron would be happy with some sort of
statement about reproductive risks for women printers.
Other ideas welcome...

Thanks!
