The Impact Of Insecticide
A study by France and Argentina confirmed that long-term exposure to pesticides does have an impact on male fertility. They advise people to use pesticides with caution and pay attention to the adverse effects of environmental pollution on human health.
According to Luc Multini, an expert at the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research, the study was carried out in an important agricultural region in Argentina where pesticides are used very frequently. The researchers tested the semen of 189 infertile men in the area and found that the sperm count and vitality in these men's semen were far below normal. Further studies have shown that these men's hormone secretion has been severely disrupted. Compared with normal males, men who have long lived in the environment using insecticides have increased estradiol secretion, while those who play an important stimulating effect on testes have reduced secretion of luteinizing hormone.
The expert said that the testicle is an important reproductive organ of men and one of the organs most sensitive to chemical harmful substances in the environment. According to their research, insecticides are diffused in the air, and their harmful substances first act directly on the testes, leading to imbalance of hormone secretion in the victim, and ultimately affecting the entire reproductive system, resulting in decreased quality or infertility of men's semen.
