No effects on pregnancy rate or number of pups born alive were observed following the mating of male rats exposed to 1,742 mg orthophosphoric acid equivalents/m3 of white phosphorus smoke 15 minutes/day, 5 days/week for 10 weeks with female rats exposed for 3 weeks (similar exposure protocol) (Brown et al. 1981 Starke et al. 1982) or the mating of male rats exposed to 1,742 mg orthophosphoric acid equivalents/m3 15 minutes/day, 5 days/week, for 13 weeks to unexposed female rats (Brown et al. 1981 Starke et al. 1982). No exposure-related lesions were seen in the testis, epididymis, ovary, and uterus of rats exposed to 1,742 mg orthophosphoric acid equivalents/m315 minutes/day, 5 days/week, for 13 weeks (Brown et al. 1981).
