• Description:
  In the field of reproductive environmental health there remain many unanswered questions regarding the impact of the environment on male reproductive health. Suggested needs include studies that target populations with high exposure to chemicals, including phthalates and bisphenol A. We also need to identify susceptibility factors and critical exposure windows (life stages) that may increase a man's risk of infertility. Finally, we need to develop methods to better study mixtures of chemicals and develop methods to assess clinical reproductive outcomes of human exposure to the ever-growing list of chemicals.
