Individual and joint associations of air pollutants exposure with semen quality: A retrospective longitudinal study in Wenzhou, China
Purpose The impact of air pollution on semen quality has been confirmed, yet the joint effect remains unclear. We evaluate the individual and joint associations of particulate (PM 2.5 and PM 10 ) and gaseous pollutants (NO 2 , SO 2 , O 3 and CO) with semen quality. Methods We included 5,114 men in t...

Zusammenfassung: | Purpose
The impact of air pollution on semen quality has been confirmed, yet the joint effect remains unclear. We evaluate the individual and joint associations of particulate (PM
2.5
and PM

) and gaseous pollutants (NO

, SO
2
, O

and CO) with semen quality.
Methods
We included 5,114 men in this study from 2014 to 2022. The individual and joint associations were measured by multiple linear regression models.
Results
Sperm motility and semen volume were inversely associated with pollutant concentrations during every stage of sperm development, especially at lag days 0–9 and 10–14 (all
