Abstract
The number of females in paid work has increased dramatically in the past 30–40 years. This created extraordinary awareness, interest, and concern regarding the effect of occupational and environmental exposures on human reproductive and developmental health. Reproductive and developmental hazards may be chemical, physical, biological, psychological, and ergonomic conditions that can cause adverse effect on reproductive health of both male and female or seriously affect the developing fetus up to childhood cancer in child. There is growing interest in the possible health threat posed by endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). The U.S. (EPA) establishes Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program for screening and testing of chemicals that have potential to produce effects through an endocrine disruption mode of action. A variety of biomarkers are used to assess the potential adverse reproductive effects due to toxic chemical exposures in male and female. Further research is needed to discover new biomarkers which are more practical and more cost effective. The ACOEM (1994) Reproductive Hazards management guidelines put a strategy for assessment of occupational reproductive and developmental risks. from all of the above, spot light must be focused to detect the gap of information about this important topic.
