Medical progress. Congenital malformations: etiologic factors and their role in prevention (first of two parts).

Environmental substances suspected of causing congenital malformations in human populations are discussed in the review. They include lead, mercury, methylmercury, and chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons. Of these only mercury is known to be a proven human teratogen. Occupational exposure to smelter emissions and to hydrocarbons may also be a risk factor. (JMT)
