Lead exposure is associated with increased lead bioaccumulation and a decline in semen quality: a systematic review and meta-analysis
This study demonstrates that lead exposure is associated with reduced sperm quality. The present findings highlight the urgent need for strategies to reduce lead exposure and emphasize the importance of further research into potential mitigating interventions.
