Semen quality and levels of non-essential metals such as strontium (Sr), aluminum (Al), lead
(Pb), nickel (Ni), and vanadium (V) were measured. Metals were determined by ICP-OES …

Male reproductive problems may derive from many reasons including the environmental
toxicants which may either intaken by occupational exposure, nutrition or bad air quality. The …

The aim of the current study was to assess relationships between multiple metals burden in
human seminal plasma and semen quality parameters. Levels of five metals (lead …

Background Human exposure to environmental pollutants is widespread. It was suggested
that exposure to non-essential heavy metals may adversely affect semen development in …

Background Exposure to metals/metalloids, including essential and nonessential elements,
has been associated to male reproductive health in animals. However, findings from human …

Reproductive hormones and exposure to environmental metals are correlated with low-
quality semen. The aim of this study was to evaluate the levels of heavy metals and …

The objective of the study was to examine the associations between environmentally
relevant low metal concentrations and semen quality parameters in men. The concentrations …

It has been hypothesized that exposure to heavy metals may impair male reproduction. To
measure the effect produced by low doses of heavy metals on semen parameters, it is …

Environmental factors may negatively contribute to a progressive worsening of semen
quality, and differences in semen quality may result from different environmental exposures …

Exposure to metals, including essential and nonessential elements, is widespread and may
be associated with altered semen quality. This study aimed to examine the association …
