A comprehensive review of 25 studies spanning nearly five decades reveals a compelling connection between commonly found pesticides in food and diminished sperm concentrations. Researchers from George Mason University College of Public Health and Northeastern University in the US conducted the study, emphasizing the critical need to understand the impact of insecticides on human sperm given their widespread presence in the environment. The research focused on organophosphates and N-methyl carbamates, widely used insecticides, and consistently found associations with lower sperm concentrations across the studies. The findings, published in Environmental Health Perspectives, underscore the public health concern and urge policymakers to recognize insecticide exposure as a significant issue. The study sheds light on the potential impact of pesticide exposure on male fertility amid a global trend of declining sperm counts over the past 50 years.
