Environmental factors like pollution contribute to declining fertility in both men and women. A recent study further investigated this issue and discovered that while long-term exposure to particulate matter from air pollution adversely affects male fertility, noise pollution poses a significant threat to female reproductive health in women over 35.
According to estimates, one in seven couples worldwide has difficulty conceiving. Although studies have shown that long-term exposure to particulate matter affects sperm quality, the impact on the likelihood of conceiving was not clear. Also, studies have not investigated how noise pollution affects fertility in men and women.
