High pollution levels can increase the risk of infertility by up to 20 percent, a study in China has found.
The researchers wrote that their findings point to pollution as 'an unignorable risk factor for infertility'. It is believed to be the first study that examines the link between air pollution and infertility in the general population, rather than solely in fertility patients.

The earliest signs of an innate immune response have been identified in embryos, shedding light on why some fail to form properly during early development.
As reported last week in Nature, early embryos, lacking specialised immune cells, are particularly prone to cellular defects which can lead to developmental failures. Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation in Barcelona, Spain, found that cells in the embryo's epithelium, the first tissue to form during vertebrate development, are able to clear surrounding dead cells, thereby increasing chances of survival, in a process known as 'epithelial phagocytosis'.
Semen samples can now be accurately analysed up to 52 hours after production using a new mail-in sperm testing kit.
Scientists at the University of Southern California have reported that the accuracy of mail-in semen analysis on that is produced at home is comparable to a traditional semen analysis, which is typically performed within one hour of sperm production.
