“…In term of IVF results, the installation of a HEPA filtration system and VOC filtration with potassium permanganate has been reported to improve pregnancy rates 31. The installation of a CODA system was shown to improve live birth rate,32 and pregnancy rate, but no improvement in embryo quality was observed 33.…”

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of air pollution, from oocyte retrieval to embryo transfer, on the results of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) in terms of clinical pregnancy rates, at two fertility centres, from 2013 to 2019.DesignExploratory retrospective cohort study.SettingThis retrospective cohort study was performed in the Reproductive Biology Department of Bordeaux University Hospital localised in Bordeaux, France and the Jean Villar Fertility Center localised in Bruges, France.ParticipantsThis study included 10 763 IVF attempts occurring between January 2013 and December 2019, 2194 of which resulted in a clinical pregnancy.Primary and secondary outcome measuresThe outcome of the IVF attempt was recorded as the presence or absence of a clinical pregnancy; exposure to air pollution was assessed by calculating the cumulative exposure of suspended particulate matter, fine particulate matter, black carbon, nitrogen dioxide and ozone (O3), over the period from oocyte retrieval to embryo transfer, together with secondary exposure due to the presence of the biomass boiler room, which was installed in 2016, close to the Bordeaux University Hospital laboratory. The association between air pollution and IVF outcome was evaluated by a random-effects logistic regression analysis.ResultsWe found negative associations between cumulative O3exposure and clinical pregnancy rate (OR=0.92, 95% CI = (0.86 to 0.98)), and between biomass boiler room exposure and clinical pregnancy rate (OR=0.75, 95% CI = (0.61 to 0.91)), after adjustment for potential confounders.ConclusionAir pollution could have a negative effect on assisted reproductive technology results and therefore precautions should be taken to minimise the impact of outdoor air on embryo culture.

Objectives: Embryology laboratories' air quality affects the success of human assisted reproduction. In this paper we made a review of studies that assessed the importance of air quality control of embryology laboratories in the success of assisted human reproduction. Methods: A systematic review was made with studies presented in the following database: PUBMED, Lilacs and Scielo submitted. The researched articles refer to the years 1996 to 2016, in Portuguese, English and Spanish. The keywords were air quality control, in vitro fertilization, embryology, assisted human reproduction, laboratory environment, volatile organic compounds and clean room. Results: Thirty three articles were found. From these, eight studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. All of them used air filters. Conclusions: The reviewed studies show a trend of improvement in pregnancy rates due to the introduction of filters in IVF laboratories. Apparently, the greater the level of control of environmental pollution and elimination of VOCs.

“…Effect of air particulate filtration system on embryo development is debatable. While Heitmann and his colleagues [5] and Morbeck et al 2015 observed higher embryo development after improving air quality on the other hand, according to Esteves et al [33,34], little is known about the benefits of particulate filtration system [35][36][37]. Other important issues like indoor air quality, equipment/ furniture, construction and disposable materials, cleaning agents used, and personnel are less explored areas.…”
