مخاطر السموم البيئية على الصحة الإنجابية (العقم) دراسة مرجعية

The study of environmental toxicology is of great importance due to the recognition that human well-being is largely reliant on the availability of unpolluted air, clean water, and food free from pesticides. Unfortunately, human activities have resulted in the release of numerous chemicals into the environment, which can have harmful consequences for both living organisms and environmental processes. One significant consequence is infertility, a condition that impacts the reproductive system and is characterized by the inability to achieve a clinical pregnancy despite regular intercourse for 12 months or more. According to a report by the World Health Organization, approximately 17.5% of adults across various countries suffer from infertility, equating to roughly one in every six individuals. Reproductive disorders, including infertility and childlessness, are thus significant health concerns. Furthermore, exposure to environmental toxins has been found to have negative effects on fertility and the ability to bear children. The objective of this study is to highlight the hazards posed by environmental toxins to reproductive health. Through descriptive and analytical analysis, this review aims to examine the most important environmental toxins that influence fertility. These toxins encompass endocrine-disrupting chemicals, heavy metals, and smoking. The pathways through which these toxins affect the human body will be identified and discussed. Ultimately, it is hoped that this review will underscore the necessity for further research in this field, emphasizing the importance of understanding and mitigating the risks associated with environmental toxins on reproductive health
