Air pollution may impair sperm number, quality. (Retrospective Analysis of Semen Donations).
RANCHO MIRAGE, CALIF. -- Air pollution worsens sperm quality, Dr. Rebecca Z. Sokol said at the annual meeting of the Pacific Coast Reproductive Society.
For every one-standard-deviation increase of 10 parts per million in air sulfate levels or ozone levels 70 days before semen collection, average sperm counts of around 85 million per cubic centimeter decreased by 1 million sperm per cubic centimeter in a retrospective study. Total motile sperm concentrations dropped significantly as well, said Dr. Sokol, professor of ob.gyn. and medicine at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles.
