In recent years, there is an increasing concern that occupational and environmental exposure to toxic pollutants disrupts male reproduction of wild life and humans. Phthalates are a family of industrial chemicals produced from alcohols that have been used for a variety of purposes, such as plasticizers that impart flexibility and durability to polyvinyl chloride (PVC) products. When incorporated into PVC, phthalates are not covalently bound and are therefore easily released into the environment, consequently resulting in animal and human exposure. Besides, phthalates have also been used...

Adverse trends in reproductive health of wildlife and humans are significantly increased during the last few years. It is widely acknowledged that one of the possible reasons for the deteriorated reproductive health is exposure to a range of occupational and/or environmental contaminants. Among the contaminants, lead (Pb) is one of the non-essential metal toxicants and is mainly used in the manufacture of lead-based storage batteries, painting pigments, solder, automobiles, radio-activity shields. It is believed that Pb is non-biodegradable, immutable and bio-accumulative in nature and thus...
