Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for decreasing quality of semen during past 50 years.
TL;DR: There has been a genuine decline in semen quality over the past 50 years, and as male fertility is to some extent correlated with sperm count the results may reflect an overall reduction in male fertility.

Evidence for increasing incidence of abnormalities of the human testis: a review.
TL;DR: The remarkable increase in frequency of testicular abnormalities over a relatively short period of time may be due to environmental rather than genetic factors.

TL;DR: There is strong evidence that human sperm tests can be used to identify chemicals that affect sperm production, but because of the limited understanding of underlying mechanisms, the extent to which they can detect mutagens, carcinogens or agents that affect fertility remains uncertain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occupational exposure associated with reproductive dysfunction.
TL;DR: There is an urgent need to look at indiscriminate use of persistent chemicals especially pesticides and persistent organic pollutants (POP's) as these chemicals enter the food chain also and could be potential for exposure during the critical period of development.
