Abstract : Air pollution is a significant environmental factor that is linked with reduced fertility rates. Volatile Organic Compounds, particulate matter, and heavy metals found in polluted air have been shown to negatively affect sperm quality, ovulation, and embryo implantation. To mitigate the impact of environmental factors on infertility, policymakers, healthcare providers, and individuals must take proactive measures. These may include stricter regulations on EDCs, improved air quality standards, and public health campaigns promoting healthier lifestyles. Moreover, couples facing infertility should consider seeking medical advice and guidance to address both environmental and genetic factors. Infertility is influenced by a complex interplay of genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Recognizing the significance of environmental factors is essential in understanding and addressing the rising infertility rates globally. Collaborative efforts are needed to minimize exposure to harmful environmental agents and support individuals and couples in their journey toward parenthood.
