Air Pollution Can Damage Sperm

Air pollution can be linked with damage of sperm, resulting in birth defects or miscarriages, according to results published in the latest issue of the journal Human Reproduction on Monday. The results warn that the number of chemicals commonly present in the air can cause damage to human DNA. A significant association between exposure to periods of high air pollution (at or above the upper limit of US air quality standards) and the percentage of sperm with DNA fragmentation has been found by Jiri Rubes of the Veterinary Research Institute in the Czech Republic in collaboration with the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
