The teratological effects of acute maternal carbon monoxide (750 ppm, for three days, 7, 8, and 9th day of gestation, 3 hours/day) exposure upon the fetal albino rats have been studied. The following results were obtained:
1) A close correlation was noted between the carbon monoxide exposure and the pregnancy wastage (absorption, stillbirth and anomalies) of the albino rats.
2) A significant depression of the body weight development appeared in those fetuses who had been exposure to carbon monoxide. The crown-rump length also seemed to be affected by the exposure although the difference was not statistically significant.
