Abstract

Human infertility is increasing at an alarming rate and has affected nearly 12% of reproductive aged couples worldwide. Various reasons have been linked to its cause, besides the age of female partner, a huge number of environmental contaminants produced and used by humans throughout the world are one of the reasons for growing the infertility rate. Their exposure is virtually unavoidable. The literature review provides an overview regarding the effect of chemical agents on fertility. The environmental contaminants included in this review are plastics, pesticides, phthalates, metals, industrial chemicals, endocrine disrupters, and nano materials. The goal is to discuss the association between environmental contaminants and reproductive disorders with particular emphasis on infertility.
