A study published in BMJ found that long-term exposure to air pollution, specifically particulate matter, was linked to infertility in men. Additionally, noise pollution from road traffic was linked to infertility in certain women aged 35 to 45 years. The study included over 500,000 men and nearly 400,000 women in Denmark and found that exposure to particulate matter increased the risk for infertility in men, while road traffic noise increased the risk for infertility in women. The researchers noted that there may be no safe threshold for exposure to air pollution and noise, highlighting the importance of understanding environmental impacts on fertility.
