Severe Air Pollution Linked to Male Infertility in Delhi-NCR, Warns Expert
Imagine the air we breathe is like a big soup of tiny bad things, like plastic bits and bug spray.
When men breathe this polluted air all the time, especially in places like Delhi, these bad things can get inside their bodies.
They can hurt special parts inside men that help make babies, called testicles.
This can make it hard for them to have children and can also make it harder for them to feel strong and healthy in their bodies.
Doctors are seeing more and more of this problem because the air is so dirty.
A top Indian andrologist warns that severe air pollution in Delhi-NCR is leading to male infertility.
The pollution is reportedly causing a loss of sexual function and declining sperm quality.
Dr. Chirag Bhandari attributes these issues to pollutants such as BPA microplastics, pesticides, and general air pollution.
These substances are believed to be gradually damaging testicular tissue.
The expert links continuous exposure to poor air quality with reproductive health problems in men.
