Two researchers of TecnATox, Dr. Montse Marquès and Prof. José L. Domingo, have just published, in collaboration of investigators of the Unit of Nutrition at Universitat Rovira i Virgili, a very interesting review on endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). This paper, available at Environmental Research, was aimed at performing a systematic review and meta-analysis of population studies exploring whether human male exposure to EDCs affects male fertility.

The authors highlighted that there is a high disparity among currently available studies, making difficult to draw conclusions on the potential harmful effects of EDCs on male fertility. Consequently, to delineate the potential relationship that EDCs can have on male fertility, an important condition stressing the health system, further investigations are required.
