Female Long‐Evans rats were exposed by inhalation of 2100 ±. 200 ppm methyl chlorofrom (MC) to determine whether exposure before mating and during pregnancy was more detrimental to the offspring than exposure either before mating or during pregnancy alone. Four groups were exposed for 2 wk before mating and through d 20 of gestation in a 2 X 2 factorial design: (1) MC exposure before and during pregnancy, (2) MC before mating alone, (3) MC during pregnancy alone, and (4) filtered air before and during pregnancy. A t term, half of each group were sacrificed and assessed for maternal toxicity, embryotoxicity, and teratogenicity; the other half delivered their young for later behavioral evaluation and examination for gross lesions.No significant differences were found in measurements of maternal toxicity or embryotoxicity except for a decrease in fetal body weight when dams were exposed during pregnancy alone. Significantly increased incidences of skeletal and soft tissue variations were seen in fetuses from the group exposed both before mating and during pregnancy. These variations in fetal morphology were indicative of developmental delay rather than true malformations.Postnatal evaluation included body weight and survival measurements and neurobehavioral tests of open‐field activity (21 d of age), running wheel activity (40–110 d of age), and an amphetamine challenge test (110–120 d of age). All surviving offspring were autopsied at 12 mo of age and examined for gross lesions. No significant treatment effects were noted with any of these measurements. It is concluded that inhalation exposure of female rats before mating and/or during pregnancy to 2100 ± 200 ppm MC did not have a persistent detrimental effect on any of the parameters measured. Reversible developmental delays were observed in fetal body weight with pregnancy exposure only, and in fetal morphology with exposure before mating and during pregnancy, which had no influence on postnatal outcome.
