Many chemicals such as solvents used in manufacturing have been linked to birth defects. Workers can be exposed to harmful substances in scientific or medical laboratories, commercial printing houses, industrial machinery manufacturing plants, and the plastics and textiles industries.  Cosmeticians and beauticians can also be exposed to toxic chemicals that could cause birth defects.  Solvents such as photoresist used in the semiconductor industry contain harmful substances such as glycol ethers.  Photoresist is a light-sensitive material used in several industrial processes, such as photolithography and photoengraving to form a patterned coating on a surface.  Plant cleanroom workers involved in photolithography may be harmed by inhalation and exposure.
