Ecotoxicology and Testicular Damage (Environmental Chemical Pollution): A Review
This review briefly considers the testicular damage elicited by environmental chemical pollution. It includes a short comment on environmental toxicology as an introduction to environmental chemical pollution, highlighting the importance of this current field of study and its impact on male reproduc...
