The Center for the Evaluation of Risks to Human Reproduction (CERHR) web site offers CERHR's collection of information about potentially hazardous effects of chemicals on human reproduction and development. The Center for the Evaluation of Risks to Human Reproduction (CERHR) was established in 1998 by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). CERHR's mission is: To provide timely and unbiased, scientifically sound assessments of reproductive health risks associated with human exposures to naturally occurring and man-made chemicals; To make these assessments readily available to the public, to state and federal agencies, and to the scientific community; and To build an electronic resource for providing, or directing one to, information of public interest concerning human reproductive health. The Center's first review will examine the possible reproductive risks to plastics workers and consumers from seven phthalates found widely in consumer products and the environment.
