[Exposure Effects]

The phthalimide fungicides contain the phthalimide moiety in common with phthalidomide, a known human teratogen. Captan has been teratogenic, fetotoxic, and/or embryotoxic in a variety of rodent species and caused stillbirths in dogs. Folpet was teratogenic in rabbits, chicks, and hamsters. Captafol has been embryo- or fetotoxic in experimental animals. <br>Captan, folpet, and captafol have all induced testicular degeneration in laboratory animals.
