Impact of Real-life Environmental Exposures on Reproduction
Reproduction has a growing collection of reviews and research articles focused on the impact of real-life environmental exposures on reproduction.
Environmental exposures to endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), air pollution, biosolids, fracking materials, some pharmaceutical agents, and heat stress adversely affect reproductive health and exert long-ranging effects on maternal, paternal, and child health. Exposure to EDCs is of particular concern because they mimic or antagonize endogenous hormones and interfere with the physiological functions of reproductive organs. Disruption of normal endocrine homeostasis by EDCs has adverse effects on fertility and causes reproductive disorders as well as premature reproductive senescence.
This special collection is edited by Professor Jodi Flaws, University of Illinois, IL, USA, and Professor Vasantha Padmanabhan, University of Michigan, MI, USA.
