Persons with pre- <br />existing skin disorders may be.more susceptible to the <br />effects of DBCP. <br />Blood dyscrasias: DBCP has been shown to decrease <br />the content of erythrocytes, hemoglobini.and-leukocytes in <br />the blood, as well as increase the prothrombin time. Persons <br />with existing blood disorders may be more susceptible to the <br />effect of DBCP. <br />Reproductive disorders: Animal studies have <br />associated DBCP with various effects on the reproductive <br />3 <br />
