Epidemiological assessment of occupationally related, chemically induced sperm count suppression

TLDR
Exposure to DBCP, but not to ECH, was positively associated with detectable sperm count suppression and it is suggested that the key to identifying and assessing occupationally related sperm count suppressed lies in the proper classification and interpretation of group sperm count data.Citations

Reproductive outcomes in families of DBCP-exposed men.
TL;DR: The families of 30 workers employed in a plant which, until 1977, had produced 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP), have been monitored for 5 yr and at least 10 females of 12 babies born to wives of exposed men with evidence of testicular toxicity would be expected according to binomial probabilities.

Toxicology of male reproduction in animals and humans.
TL;DR: This analysis considers studies showing damage of men exposed to halogenated hydrocarbons, other organic compounds, heavy metals and some physical agents, and some lifestyles, such as continuous stress, alcohol consumption, cigarette and marijuana smoking, and other addictions.

Occupational influences on male fertility and sexuality
Omer Steeno,A Pangkahila +1 more
TL;DR: A survey of occupational influences on male fertility and sexuality is presented and the potential risks of physicale factors, chemical factors, and psychological factors are discussed.

Dibromochloropropane (DBCP): a review.
TL;DR: Investigations with laboratory animals have shown that DBCP decreases sperm mobility and spermatogenesis, disturbs the estrous cycle, reduces phagocytosis by white blood cells, and induces malignant tumors, and the EPA banned almost all agricultural uses of D BCP in 1979.
