Science Biojournal-Entry 6


In this entry, i would like to suggest to men on what caused the quality of their sperms deprove

Today, studies has shown that even environmental factors can affect male fertility! The factors include:
• endocrine disrupters
• toxic pollutants
• sexually transmitted infections
• zinc deficiency
• alcoholism
• smoking
• anabolic steroid use
• ionising radiation.

All this factors again reminds us of the importance of keeping the environment clean!

Adding to that, endocrine disrupters are chemicals present in the environment that, by virtue of their ability to adversely affect the endocrine (hormonal) system, can cause health consequences. Several industrial pollutants can affect fertility, as can smoking and alcohol use. Some of these toxins can cause reproductive disorders, neurological disease, immune system disorders and cancer!
