Long term exposure to road traffic noise and air pollution and risk of infertility in men and women: nationwide Danish cohort study
PM<sub>2.5</sub> was associated with a higher risk of an infertility diagnosis in men, whereas road traffic noise was associated with a higher risk of an infertility diagnosis in women older than 35 years, and potentially in men older than 37 years. If these results are confirmed in future studies, higher fertility could be added to the list of health benefits from regulating noise and air pollution.
