Environmental Pollution: a Risk Factor for Female Fertility-A Letter to Editor

Abstract

Experimental data indicate that exposure to environmental pollution can lead to serious complications on the female reproductive system. Environmental pollution appears to affect reproductive success and outcomes by endocrine disruption and/or reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced oxidative stress. The aim of this letter to editor is to elucidate the impact of exposures to environmental pollutants on female reproductive health and outcomes. There is a need to increase the awareness among women to avoid exposure to the reproductive risk factors.
