REPRODUCTION INFORMATION: Monoethanolamine (MEA) caused harm to the fetus in a laboratory animal study in which high doses of the material were placed in the stomachs of the mothers through a feeding tube. In other studies, MEA was not harmful to unborn rats or rabbits when the chemical was given to the mothers by skin contact. Contact with MEA in the workplace at levels which are not harmful to the mother should have no effect on the unborn baby. Does not harm reproductive cells.
