This news is based on the following article: Carré J, Gatimel N, Moreau J, Parinaud J, Léandri R. Does air pollution play a role in infertility ? A systematic review. Environ Health 2017 ; 16 : 82. doi : 10.1186/s12940-017-0291-8
Both experimental and epidemiological studies support the idea that air pollution adversely affects gametogenesis, thereby reducing the reproductive function of the exposed subjects. However, the literature reviewed in this article is heterogeneous and neither indicates which pollutants are responsible nor establishes which mechanisms are at work.
