Аннотация
Few studies have investigated the reproductive effects of exposure to chemical mixtures. The purpose of this study was to assess fertility in males exposed to mixed industrial and domestic wastes. A detailed reproductive history was obtained from the wives of 231 employees in order to evaluate fertility. Daily work records were used to define exposure status. To ascertain problems of infertility, the ratios of observed live births to expected live births (generated from U.S. birth probabilities) for exposed and nonexposed groups were calculated, and the ratios of these Standardized Fertility ratios (SRFs) were compared. Other analyses considered the couples' contraceptive history and preexposure versus postexposure experience. Though multiple statistical approaches were used to examine the data, the conclusion of this study was that exposure to chemical mixtures was not associated with a decrease in the couples' fertility.
