IMPACT OF ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS ON MALE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH

Abstract

The aim of our work was to make analysis of world literature that develops a problem of impact of environment on male reproductive health. Materials and methods: We analyzed the bibliography available, until January 2020, about influence of different exogenic factors on male reproductive system. Conclusions: The biggest influence of ionizing radiation on mankind was reached after two big catastrophes: Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in April 1986 and an accident on the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in March 2011. However, impact of ionizing radiation on male reproductive in literature still remains controversy that needs more detailed study. Lead influences on such sperm parameters, as sperm morphology, count, motility, semen volume. So, specific attention should be paid to the type of work routinely performed by man. Another one environmental factor that has negative influence is a heat. It effects on sperm morphology and motility.
