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.
