Fertility Under Pressure: The Role of Pollution and Climate Change

pollution and climate change can threaten fertility / Umweltverschmutzung und Klkimawandel können die Fruchtbarkeit gefährden

Fertility rates are declining worldwide, and growing scientific evidence links this trend to environmental factors such as air pollution, chemicals, microplastics and rising temperatures. These exposures can impair egg and sperm quality — largely through a mechanism known as oxidative stress. While we cannot completely avoid these influences, informed lifestyle choices and targeted nutritional support […]

Microplastics, Oxidative Stress, and Male Fertility: What Every Man Needs to Know

microplastics have been found in human semen and may damage male fertility by increasing oxidative stress / Mikroplastik taucht im männlichen Sperma auf und scheint die Fruchtbarkeit durch erhöhten oxidativen Stress zu schädigen

Infertility affects about 1 in 6 couples worldwide, and in nearly half of cases, male factors play a role. While semen analysis is often the first step in evaluating fertility, it doesn’t reveal the whole picture. Modern science shows that environmental risks such as microplastics may also significantly impact male reproductive health. Recent studies have […]
