Atmospheric pollutants and their impact on murine and human reproduction

According to the US EPA (US EPA, 2016), PM is classified according to size into inhalable particles with diameters of 10 ļim or smaller (PMiq), produced by uncontrolled combustion and mostly with a basic pH, and fine inhalable particles with diameters of 2.5im or smaller (PM2.5) generally acidic con...

Description
Summary:According to the US EPA (US EPA, 2016), PM is classified according to size into inhalable particles with diameters of 10 ļim or smaller (PMiq), produced by uncontrolled combustion and mostly with a basic pH, and fine inhalable particles with diameters of 2.5im or smaller (PM2.5) generally acidic containing derivatives from vehicular and industrial emissions, becoming more aggressive particles due to their high percentage of inhalation and penetration into the organism. [...]government entities should develop strategies to improve air quality and understand the impact PM can have on the reproductive health of the population. The United Nations (UN) expressed concern about possible human extinction, and continued toxic pollution exposure exhibits a global threat to human rights, including reproductive health rights reflected in a diminished fertility rate (UN, 2019). [...]the objective of this literature review was to analyze the effect of air pollutants, especially PM, on reproduction in mammals (murine and human), through cellular and molecular parameters that indicate gamete and embryonic quality and/or postnatal development. [...]the information was organized into effects of atmospheric pollution on gametes (spermatozoa and oocytes) and on embryos and postnatal consequences.
