摘要
The adverse effect of environmental pollution,climate change,and bad lifestyles on human reproductive fitness and health is reported in a large body of literature and is a matter of attention from the scientific community and governments all over the world.Although several reproductive processes from gametogenesis up to embryo and fetal development are affected by a variety of environmental stressors,most of the data available in the literature are related to sperm physiology and quality.1 I read with interests the article by Dai et al.2 that reports an improvement of sperm quality along with environmental quality in Wenzhou,a highly populated area in the south of Zhejiang province,coastal eastern China.
