As our world has become progressively more developed more and more environmental problems emerge. These problems are not only disturbing from an aesthetic perspective but also
from an human health perspective. Environmental contaminants in particular are among the most concerning of these physical changes that can cause problems in regard to human health. Three
problems of particular interest are male infertility, chronic respiratory problems, and cancer. Male Infertility
There is a growing trend of decreasing sperm counts in industrialized nations around the world. Male fertility, of course, can be affected by
a number of diverse factors but one of the most concerning is environmental contaminants. One contaminate which might present a concern in male reproductive health is lead (Apostoli et.
al., 1996). Lead is, in fact, considered a likely suspect since a disproportionate number of men whose partners necessitated in-vitro fertilization exhibited high levels of lead in their semen
(Reuters, 2003). There are quite probably, however, numerous other contaminants which will prove to be just as potentially dangerous. Moline et. al. (2000), for example, reemphasizes the importance
of links made in the 1970s between male infertility and exposure to pesticides. They emphasize, however, the diversity of chemical contamination which can play a role in male infertility
noting: "There is growing concern that occupational factors and environmental chemical exposures, including in utero
and childhood exposures to compounds with estrogenic activity, may be correlated with these observed changes in male reproductive health and fertility".
