Excerpt
Introduction: Although both man and domestic animals may be exposed to a variety of arsenic compounds, only a few such compounds have been investigated with refard to possible prenatal effects. The initial work describing embryotoxic and teratogenic effects was done with chicken embryos by Ancel (I), who used disodium methylarsenate, and by Ridgeway and liarnofsky (2), who tested various arsenic salts. Most subsequent reports have dealt with effects of arsenic in the hamster, as discussed by Ferm at this conference (3). and in the mouse and rat, which are the subject of the balance of this report.
