Air Pollution Could Affect Male Fertility

New research shows a link between lower sperm and air quality according to the findings of a three year study done by researchers from Keck School of Medicine at University of Southern California.

Researchers analyzed sperm samples donated by 50 men living in Los Angeles. The samples were compared to air pollution measurements from the area in which each man lived. The conclusion was that the more smog in the air, the lower the sperm count.

"This study found there was a decrease in the average count of all 50 donors by 4 percent," said Scripps fertility specialist Dr. Lori Arnold.
