Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Science
  • Environmental Health

Background:

  • Global fertility rates have declined in recent decades.
  • Environmental influences and lifestyle factors are suspected contributors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the impact of environmental factors on human fertility.
  • To highlight the role of pollutants, lifestyle, and radiation.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on fertility and environmental exposures.
  • Analysis of data concerning alcohol, coffee, smoking, pollutants, radiation, and electromagnetic fields.

Main Results:

  • Environmental pollutants, alcohol, coffee, and smoking negatively affect male and female fertility.
  • Increased radiation exposure and electromagnetic fields may pose reproductive risks.

Conclusions:

  • Environmental pollution and lifestyle choices significantly impact human fertility.
  • Intensified research and support for reproductive health studies are recommended.
