In today's era, infertility is spreading very fast, especially among men facing this problem.

Now a new study has revealed that air pollution increases the risk of infertility in men. A study from Semmelweis University in Hungary discovered that air pollution affects sperm quality while increasing the risk of infertility.

The study examined 27,000 research reports on the effects of air pollution on reproductive health.

The results showed that air pollution or pesticides affect sperm health. The study discovered that sperm DNA degrades rapidly after the age of 50.

The more affected the sperm DNA, the greater the risk of infertility and, if pregnancy does occur, the risk of miscarriage, the researchers said.

He said that smoking also affects sperm DNA. The results of this research were published in the journal Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology.

Earlier in April 2023, a report by the World Health Organization stated that 17.5 percent of the adult population worldwide will experience infertility at some point in their lives. The data was based on more than 100 clinical research reports from 1990 to 2021.

A comparison of infertility rates in rich, middle, and poor countries indicates that it is a serious medical challenge for every region of the world.

In rich countries, this rate is 17.8% while in middle and poor countries it is 16.5%.
