For example, a longitudinal study,  which compared the semen samples of men with varying exposures to <a href="https://www.myvmc.com/medical-dictionary/organophosphorous-pesticides/" target="_blank">organophosphorous pesticides</a> found that men with the highest exposure to these pesticides had the poorest sperm quality.Another  study of men attending an Argentinean infertility clinic found a link  between pesticide exposure and sperm concentration, output and <a href="https://www.myvmc.com/medical-dictionary/motility/" target="_blank">motility</a>  less than would be expected. The greater an individual’s exposure to  pesticides, the more likely their sperm concentration, output, motility  and proportion of morphologically normal sperm would be reduced.  Exposure to glycol ether has also been shown to increase the risk of  suboptimal sperm production. There are numerous pesticides which have  not been studied in relation to male fertility and further research  regarding these is necessary.</blockquote>
