Abstract
The paper overviews the negative impact of phthalates on the male reproductive system, spermatogenesis, semen parameters and male fertility. The analysis of the literature revealed few studies devoted to the study of the effect of phthalates on reproductive health, gametogenesis and fertility in humans and laboratory models (rats, mice). Although epidemiological studies on the effect of phthalates on the male reproductive health are not big, some toxicological studies show that some phthalates are potential reprotoxicants.
