Well, think you may be able to find it in the libraries...
Teratogens : chemicals which cause birth defects
by Vera M Kolb
Publisher: Amsterdam ; New York : Elsevier Science Publishers, ©1993.
ISBN: 0444814825 OCLC: 28418225
Included in series
Studies in Environmental Science, 31
Description
This multi-author work deals with the practical aspects of teratogens - chemicals which cause birth defects. It is designed for use as a unique guide
to these chemicals in which one can find all relevant information. The issues covered include: how to obtain information about the teratogenic
potential of chemicals; teratogenic chemicals in undergraduate chemistry laboratories; safe handling of teratogenic chemicals; teratogenicity of
pesticides and other pollutants in the environment; occupational exposure and pregnancy outcome; identification and prevention of reproductive hazards
in industry; and the long-term effects of chemicals on the developing brain. A list of approximately 5,000 chemicals known to cause reproductive
effects is given. A comprehensive bibliography is included with each chapter providing up-to-date references for more in-depth coverage. The monograph
will be of interest to academic and industrial chemists, health professionals, as well as both undergraduate and graduate students in health and
related sciences.

Hi Aniraj...Greetings from Tepui's Land: Venezuela.
I'm working with Natural Toxins (potato glycoalkaloids) and Neural Tube Defects...
If you want more information...please write me to chiralic@gmail.com.
I have a big book: "Chemically Induced Birth Defects by James L. Schardein", let me know what are you looking for and I'll try to scan it.
