Background: Inconsistent results have been found in previous human studies on male
reproductive toxicity of persistent organochlorine pollutants. The majority of studies have …

BACKGROUND: During the last decades, there has been concern that exposure to
endocrine disruptors, such as persistent organochlorine pollutants (POPs), may contribute to …

Abstract Background Persistent organochlorine pollutants (POPs) may interfere with
reproductive function but direct evidence in humans is very limited. Methods Fertility was …

There have been numerous studies that suggest that sperm concentrations (sperm counts)
are declining in men. However, other studies suggest that sperm counts are not declining or …

BACKGROUND: Persistent organochlorine pollutants (POP) may affect both the female and
male reproductive system in animals as well as in humans. METHODS: Blood samples were …

BACKGROUND: Persistent organochlorine pollutants (POP), such as polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCB) and dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (p, p′-DDE), are widely found in the …

They cross the placental barrier thereby resulting in in utero exposure of the developing
fetus. The objective of this study was to investigate whether maternal serum concentrations …

Organochlorines are widespread pollutants in humans. Concern about adverse reproductive
effects of these compounds arises from accidental exposure of humans and experimental …
