Abstract:
Metal elements are widely present in people's daily environment. With the increase of industrial activities, people are facing more metal exposures than ever before, and even several metal elements have been detected in follicular fluid. Most people live with environmental background levels of metal exposure rather than occupational long-term exposure. Therefore, the term "environmental metals" in this paper refers specifically to the metals in people's daily background environment. It is important to investigate the potential effects of environmental metal exposure on female fertility. In this paper, we summarize the latest research progress on the effects of environmental metal element exposure on women's reproductive health, discuss the toxicity mechanisms of metal elements, and propose possible detoxification and intervention strategies to provide scientific evidence for the protection of women's reproductive health.
