Table 1. Summary of Published Studies Examining Associations Between Ambient Air Pollution and Human Sperm Quality and Genetic Integrity. Only Studies of Outdoor Pollution have been Considered; Outdoor Occupational Exposures and Attempted Interventions (e.g., [De Rosa et al. Citation2003; Guven et al. Citation2008; Paradisi et al. Citation2009]) are Beyond the Scope of this Review.
Table 2. Sentinel Animal Studies Experimentally Examining the Effects of Ambient Air Pollution on Endpoints Related to General Health and Genotoxicity. Only Studies of Ambient Outdoor Pollution have been Considered; Laboratory Studies and Mobile Lab Studies that Regulate Animal Exposures to Particular Doses are Beyond the Scope of this Review.
