Finding F-0228
“The analysis revealed that PM2.5 exposure was linked to reduced semen volume (SMD = −0.028; 95% CI −0.055 to −0.01), total sperm count (SMD = −0.027; 95% CI −0.052 to -0.02), sperm motility (SMD = −0.156; 95% CI −0.26 to -0.04), and progressive motility (SMD = −0.194; 95% CI −0.38 to −0.01).”
Structure
- Factor
- Particulate matter (PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀)
- Outcome
- Semen quality
- Population
- men undergoing semen analysis
- Study design
- systematic review and meta-analysis of studies on ambient particulate matter and semen quality parameters (6264 participants in the included studies) (class 2)
- Effect
- SMD -0.028 (-0.055–-0.01)
- Caveat
- semen volume has no slug of its own and is filed under semen-quality
