Case reports on solvent exposure in humans and occupational as well as water contamination studies are the main source of information about the adverse effect of solvents on pregnancy. This matched case-control study evaluates the environmental exposure to organic solvents released by textile industries and the risk of anencephaly. The sample comprises 69 cases and 207 controls registered in the ECLAMC network in five counties from Argentina between 1982 and 1994.
