“…The external sources of ROS are associated with an individual’s diet and the environment in which the individual lives. Indirect and direct effects on male infertility are induced by industrial intermediate products and wastes [ 160 ], smoking and alcohol consumption [ 161 , 162 , 163 ], obesity [ 164 ], diabetes [ 165 ], physical exercise [ 166 ], psychological stress [ 167 ], aging [ 168 ], or the presence of increased levels of toxic heavy metals in the environment [ 169 , 170 ].…”

Natural processes along with increased industrial production and the irresponsible behavior of mankind have resulted in environmental pollution. Environmental pollutants can be categorized based on their characteristics and appearance into the following groups: physical, biological, and chemical. Every single one of them represents a serious threat to the male reproductive tract despite the different modes of action. Male gonads and gametes are especially vulnerable to the effect of exogenous factors; therefore, they are considered a reliable indicator of environmental pollution. The impact of xenobiotics or radiation leads to an irreversible impairment of fertility displayed by histological changes, modulated androgen production, or compromised spermatozoa (or germ cells) quality. The present article reviews the exogenous threats, male reproductive system, the mode of action, and overall impact on the reproductive health of humans and animals.

“…Under the influence of the HPG axis, testicular integrity is maintained and sperm production begins. Testicular tubules are formed through which the spermatozoa migrate via the vas deferens to the seminal vesicles next to the prostate gland where they mix with seminal fluids, which is necessary in the transportation of sperm during coitus (Chyra-Jach et al 2020). Moreover, sexual maturity during puberty is concomitant with psychological changes that reinforce gender identity.…”

The period of adolescence includes biological, psychological and social maturation. All these processes complement and affect each other. The ultimate goal is the transition from childhood to adulthood which enables individuals to become socialized beings, who are psychologically mature and able to pass on their genetic inheritance. In the process of reaching full maturity, adolescents are exposed to both positive and negative stimuli the socio-cultural environment. In the process of socialization, the influence of peers, and the maturing into social roles is important. At the same time, adolescents mature biologically. A holistic understanding of the sequence of changes that occur during adolescence foregrounds the significance of biology in informing emotions and cognition. Research conducted on adolescents from Wrocław, Poland, showed the impact that physical development plays on social development within a school peer group. Adolescents with a slower pace of maturity, lower BMI, and lower body height achieved the lowest social status in the group’s hierarchy. These adolescents also became victims of peer rejection. The role of scapegoat assigned to them highlighted and completed the symptomatic rejection process, which highlighted negative social group behaviours. In contrast, their peers from the same classes, with higher biological parameters, became leaders in the school’s social groups. Furthermore, sociometric ‘stars’, leaders and gray eminences, compared to scapegoats, achieved maturity faster, and had greater body height and higher BMI among all age groups.
