Study Links Air and Noise Pollution to Higher Infertility Risks

Research highlights distinct impacts of fine particulate matter on men and road traffic noise on women over 35.

Danish study analyzed data from over 900,000 individuals aged 30-45.
Men exposed to higher PM2.5 levels faced a 24% increased infertility risk.
Women over 35 exposed to increased road noise had a 14% higher infertility risk.
No significant infertility risk was found for women from PM2.5 or for younger individuals from road noise.
Findings suggest potential policy changes to mitigate pollution effects on fertility.
