Identifying critical windows of air pollution exposure and semen quality: A cross-sectional study in Chinese fertile men
In both the single pollutant models and the multi-pollutants models, PM<sub>2.5</sub> and its chemical components inversely correlated with sperm motility in a relatively early window (from week 10 to week 11 before semen collection) which was identified to be more sensitive to air pollution.
