In 1980 the Directorate-General of Labor, Ministry of Social
Affairs and Employment, the Netherlands, requested the Coronel
Laboratory for Occupational and Environmental Health, Faculty of
Medicine, University of Amsterdam, to carry out "a critical study
of literature on health risks to women from industrial and
occupational exposure to chemical agents which are different from
risks to male workers, or which have only been observed in female
workers. " The principal investigator was Mrs. A. Stijkel, medical
biologist; a part of the study was carried out by R. L. Zielhuis,
physician. M. M. Verberk, physician, and Mrs. M. v. d. Poel-Bot,
librarian, provided continuous assistance. The final report (in
Dutch) covering the literature up to and including 1981, was
submitted to the government in October 1982. A somewhat abridged
and modified English text, updated to include 1982, was prepared.
The Editorial Board and the publisher of the International Archives
of Occupational and Environmental Health kindly made possible the
publishing of this text in a special issue of the journal. The
authors express their thanks to the Directorate-General of Labor,
the Editorial Board and the publisher for making this publication
possible. We sincerely hope that this report will be of assistance
in making the industrial and occupational environment safer. Prof.
