Male infertility is an important hidden danger that affects men's health. Air pollution is a major environmental risk that affects health. Italian research shows that long-term exposure to traffic pollution will reduce men's sperm motility, thereby affecting their fertility. Exhaust gas can also affect male fertility.
People have always known that air pollution is harmful to their health, but they never expected it to be an important factor in male infertility. Italian research shows that long-term exposure to traffic pollution will reduce men's sperm motility, and then affect their fertility. If a man is exposed to traffic pollution for at least 6 hours a day, his testosterone and other hormone secretion levels are not low, but his sperm's swimming ability will be low, which affects his ability to combine with the egg. In addition, nitric oxide and lead in car exhaust are the most likely to damage sperm quality, and heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, etc. in exhaust are also major enemies of spermatogenesis.
During traffic jams, many people habitually open their car windows for ventilation. However, the exhaust pollutants emitted by cars generally gather in areas 40 to 50 centimeters above the ground. This height means that if a person in the car opens the window, they will inhale high concentrations of exhaust emissions from the vehicle, and opening any window, even the sunroof, will have the same impact on the person in the car.
Although car exhaust pollution is severe, it is still possible to open the car window for ventilation when the air is humid, such as in rainy and snowy weather. However, during commuting hours, traffic congestion is most severe, and it is important to avoid opening any windows at this time. When encountering weather with poor air circulation, such as haze and foggy weather, opening the car window can also have a serious impact on air pollution. If the driver already has some lung diseases, it is even more inappropriate to open a window in these situations.
Nurturing a healthy and intelligent baby reminds you to be fully prepared for the first six months of pregnancy. Avoid traffic pollution, reduce your sperm motility and improve fertility.
