Semen quality in welders exposed to radiant heat.

Infertility among iron industry workers

“…Semen quality is a parameter which also affects the reproduction. Semen quality has been extensively investigated among the welders by different researchers [18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Semen quality of 57 workers from a welding plant and 57 controls was monitored and sperm concentrations of exposed workers were found to be 14.5±24.0 million/ml as compared to control group (62.8±43.7 million/ml).…”
