About The Book

The book describes about the effect of various environmental factors on the reproductive system of human beings and experimental animals. The book opens with the description of the normal human reproductive system and the functions of different organs both in males and females. It is a lucid mixture of conventional environmental exposures like chemicals and pollutants and the recent exposures at workplace such as shift work and electromagnetic radiations. The mechanism for the reproductive toxicity caused by these factors is nicely explained in a chapter on oxidative stress. It also put an insight into newer concepts like REACH for preventing the ill effects of environmental exposures on reproductive system. Thus it is a right choice for all those engaged in the field of toxicology especially reproductive toxicology.
