Abstract:
Marine work environment is associated with unique risk factors,such as high salinity,high humidity,noise and vibration,and chemical pollution.Males make up the majority of marine workers.Prolonged exposure to these environmental factors may have adverse effects on male fertility,resulting in sperm quality reduction,endocrine disorder,and reproductive organ damage.Therefore,the potential harm of marine work environment to male reproductive health deserves attention.This review focused on the key exposure factors in marine work environment,and systematically explored the factors affecting male fertility,mechanisms,and physiological pathways.The aim is to provide scientific evidences to improve marine work environment,develop protective measures,and safeguard the reproductive health of workers,while also offering guidance for future research in this field.
