Don't choke the sperm
Air pollution- and diet, exercise and drinking- can damage mature sperm and decrease fertility or even increase the chance of miscarriage. The damage is reversible over time so a couple of months of clean living should increase the chances of making babies.Mounting evidence suggests that traffic pollution reduces the quality of sperm in men.
The latest study looked at young men from Teplice in the Czech Republic - an area that has considerably higher air pollution during winter because of coal-burning power stations and fossil fuels burned to heat homes.
The sperm quality of the 35 men was monitored throughout the year for two years.
