Description
Han Han, Russ Hauser, and Lidia Mínguez-Alarcón review studies on fathers' chemical exposure and pregnancy in a paper from two thousand twenty-six. Hormone-disrupting chemicals are widespread in daily life. Most research has focused on mothers, but exposure in fathers may affect sperm and thus a couple's pregnancy.
Studies using body measures suggest some chemicals in one class may be tied to worse pregnancy outcomes for couples. For other common classes, studies found little or no link. Evidence on several further classes stays thin and mixed. The authors call for couple-based studies with repeated measures before conception, plus work on how sperm changes might carry the effects.
