Background Accumulating evidence has linked exposure to ambient air pollution to a
reduction in semen quality; however, the exposure-response associations are yet to be …

Environmental pollution is changing with economic development. Most environmental
pollutants are characterized by stable chemical properties, strong migration, potential …

Background Semen quality in men continues to decline in Western countries, but the
contours of the issue remain obscure, in relation to contributing chemicals. Objectives To …

Background Exposure to ambient fine and respirable particulate matter is associated with
poor sperm quality, but evidence for particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter≤ 1 μm …

Background Potential adverse effects of non-optimum temperatures on human semen
quality have drawn much concern worldwide; however, the exposure–response relationship …

Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM< 2.5 μm in diameter [PM2. 5]) may accelerate human
sperm quality decline, although research on this association is limited. Our objective was to …

Air pollution has been increasingly linked to cancer risk. However, the genetic causality
between air pollution and cancer risk remains poorly understood. To elucidate the potential …

Background Air pollution may impair male fertility, but it remains controversial whether air
pollution affects semen quality until now. Objectives We undertake a meta-analysis to …

Previous studies have reported potential adverse effects of exposure to ambient air
pollutants on semen quality in infertile men, but studies on the general population have …

Background Emerging evidence shows the detrimental impacts of particulate matter (PM) on
poor semen quality. High-resolution estimates of PM concentrations are conducive to …
