Abstract

In this study, we compared the semen characteristics on light microscopy and ultrastructural sperm morphology on transmission electron microscopy between workers in an industrialized area with petrochemical complexes and public servants in a nonindustrialized area. Occupational exposure to petrochemical compounds seems to decrease sperm motility and deteriorate the sperm ultrastructural arrangement, which may lead to this decrease in sperm motility.
