摘要: Population studies that evaluate human reproductive impairment are time consuming, expensive, logistically difficult, and with limited resources must be prioritized to effectively prevent the adverse health effects in humans. Interactions among scientists, unions, industry can serve identify populations exposed potential hazards develop strategies apply appropriate controls. This report describes a systematic method for prioritizing chemicals may need field studies. Rodent toxicants identified from National Toxicology Program (NTP) Reproductive Assessment by Continuous Breeding (RACB) protocol were on basis of potency toxic effect population at risk. model prioritization links NTP findings data Occupational Exposure Survey (NOES) Hazardous Substance Data Base (HSDB) or High Production Volume Chemical Database (HPVC) prioritize their impact worker populations. The highest priority study were: dibutyl phthalate, boric acid, tricresyl phosphate, N,N-dimethylformamide.
