Newly reported from Denmark: Noise, Air Pollution May Impact Fertility
Air pollution is associated with a higher risk for an infertility diagnosis in men, while road traffic noise pollution is associated with a higher risk for an infertility diagnosis in women aged 35 years and older, according to a study published online Sept. 4 in The BMJ.
Mette Sørensen, Ph.D., from the Danish Cancer Institute in Copenhagen, and colleagues investigated associations between long-term residential exposure to road traffic noise and particulate matter <2.5 µm (PM2.5) and infertility. The analysis included 526,056 men and 377,850 women (aged 30 to 45 years), with fewer than two children, cohabiting or married, and residing in Denmark between 2000 and 2017.
