Occupational risk factors and reproductive health of women.
TLDR
Policy makers and health professionals should advise women and employers to avoid exposure to the well-known occupational risk factors, while epidemiologic research should pursue methodological improvements and provide more insight into the magnitude of exposures responsible for detrimental effects.

Maternal exposures to endocrine disrupting chemicals and hypospadias in offspring.
TLDR
Evidence of an association between maternal exposure to EDCs, in particular elevated plasma hexachlorobenzene concentration, and the development of hypospadias in the offspring is provided for the first time.

Reproductive male-mediated risk: Spontaneous abortion among wives of pesticide applicators
This study was conducted among 32 pesticide applicators occupationally exposed to pesticides to determine whether paternal exposure is associated with an increased risk of spontaneous abortion. The…

The possible role of endocrine disrupting chemicals in the aetiology of cryptorchidism and hypospadias: a population-based case-control study in rural Sicily.
TLDR
The study provides only limited support to the hypothesis of a possible association between the risk of cryptorchidism and hypospadias and the occupational exposure to EDC and agricultural work.

Pesticide exposure and serum organochlorine residuals among testicular cancer patients and healthy controls
TLDR
Findings give additional support to the results of previous research that suggest that some environmental exposures to OPs may be implicated in the pathogenesis of TC.

Occupational exposures to metals, solvents and pesticides: recent evidence on male reproductive effects and biological markers.
TLDR
Evidence of the effects of metals, solvents, pesticides and dioxin on male reproductive function is examined, and it appears that, in general, the concentrations are much lower in the seminal fluid and in sperm cells, making this a less useful marker of exposure.

Illegal Abortion: An Attempt to Assess its Cost to the Health Services and its Incidence in the Community
TLDR
An overall estimate is made of the proportion of all hospitalized abortions that can be considered illegally induced outside the hospital, which showed a degree of under-reporting of abortion that varied widely among centers, even among women who had admitted illegal induction at the time of hospitalization.

Health and reproductive status of female workers in dry cleaning shops
TLDR
The health of these women was satisfactory, and no overt reproductive pathology was detected, thus suggesting ambient concentrations within the acceptable limits.
