title: Environmental risk factors in the history of male patients of an infertility clinic.
abstract: 93 consecutive patients attending our andrologic department for marital infertility were asked for possible environmental risk factors including traumata, heat, noise, smoking, radiation, micro waves, pesticides, and plastics. The data were correlated to the mean seminal parameters. No significant differences were found between patients being positive for a certain risk factor and those being negative.
