Popis: International audience; Objectives: Solvent exposure is among the most common occupational exposures to chemical toxicants; data about the impact of such exposure on semen parameters are contradictory. We conducted the first meta-analysis to evaluate the risk of alteration in semen parameters related to occupational exposure to solvents. Methods: From the PubMed database, we selected studies analyzing the semen of subjects occupationally exposed to solvents, compared with unexposed controls. The meta-analysis was performed on the various semen parameters analyzed in both populations. Results: Seven studies were included in the study. The meta-analysis revealed a significant decrease in ejaculate volume [standardized mean difference (SMD) ¼ À0.35 (À0.63 to À0.07)] and sperm concentration [SMD ¼ À0.36 (À0.64 to À0.08)] in workers exposed to solvents compared with unexposed controls. Conclusion: Our results highlight the importance of preventing reprotoxic risks to male fertility in the workplace.
