“…A number of studies reported that women are occupationally exposed to pesticides in the agricultural sector have risks of spontaneous abortion (Arbuckle et al, 2001;Nurminen, 1995) and stillbirth (Goulet and Theriault, 1991;Pastore et al, 1997). Previous studies from pesticides contaminated water samples findings are consistent with studies of follicular development, which shows that a significant increase in circulating oestradiol and E-1-G concentrations occurs ~1 week before the LH surge.…”

“…Many factors contribute to alter the hormone levels, which include both environmental and lifestyle induced factors (Goulet and Theriault, 1991). The altered hormone level may results from adaptive responses to a triggering factor, for example feedback control by the same or a related hormone, or from direct disturbance of correct hormonal control by an external agent like drug, pathogen and environmental factor such as pesticides containing components.…”

Problem statement: It was intended to diagnose and treat the disorders of female reproductive system where they are exposed to environmentally toxic pesticides and estrogenic compounds like bisphenol A which are the main reason for the infertility problems. Approach: Human saliva contains arrays of proteins that have distinct biological functions. Results: Salivary hormones concentrations of luteinising hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, estrogen as well as estrone-1-glucuronide, were assayed in 20 normal menstruating women who were among the reproductive phases like preovulatory phase (6-12 days); Ovulatory phase (13-14 days) and Postovulatory phase (15-26 days). It was intended to diagnose and treat the disorders of female reproductive system where they are exposed to environmentally toxic pesticides and estrogenic compounds like bisphenol A which are the main reason for the infertility problems. In this context, the detection of fertile period suggests that the mean value of luteinising hormone (56.58±12.96 mIU L −1 ) indicates the surge during the time of ovulation.Identifying the period of ovulation would be the easiest way to detect other constituents like follicle stimulating hormone, estrogen and its conjugate like estrone-1-glucuronide are extensively high (p<0.05) was observed. Conclusion: Our results indicated that the salivary hormones like estrogen and its conjugate indicates decrease in ovulatory and postovulatory phase. Further, the environmental toxic materials can also cause problems like infertility. The conclusion is that any physiological effects of estrogen from drinking water will be undetectable in people. The results from hormones suggested that they may be considered in the diagnosis and treatment of ovulation using saliva as the noninvasive specimen.

“…For all the studies, the RRc in a random model (heterogeneity test, p=0.01) was equal to 1.20 (95% CI: 1.02− 1.41). Excluding the ≥ 28 AW subgroup (only two studies 22,32) one of which was of poor quality 32) ), the RRcs of the subgroups were rather similar (Fig. 3).…”

Of them, two studies were carried out on cosmetologists 26,33) and eight studies were carried out on hairdressers.…”

small for gestational age, which had an RRc of 1.24 (95 CI%: 1.10−1.41); low birth weight, which had an RRc of 1.21 (95% CI: 1.06−1.39); and embryonic and fetal losses, which had an RRc of 1.19 (95% CI: 1.03−1.38). Conclusions: This work confirms a weak increase in risk of some reproductive disorders in female hairdressers/cosmetologists. However, the evidence level is rather weak, and a causal association between job and reproductive outcomes cannot be asserted. (J Occup Health 2015; 57: 485−496)

“…Although many animal studies have been performed on the reproductive toxicity of pesticides (1,(3)(4)(5)(6) and pregnancy outcome has been evaluated in several human studies (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15), effects on human fertility have only recently been considered (16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26). For many pesticides, no information is available, and the majority of epidemiologic studies to date pertain to pesticides that are no longer used.…”
