Climate change is the biggest threat to the fertility of mammals
across the globe through its potential effects on heat stress,
nutrition security, extreme weather events, vulnerable shelter, and
population migration. Climatic variables, such as temperature and
humidity, are common environmental stressors as well as nutritional
stress, which reduces fertility. Besides climate and nutritional
stressors, another major factor responsible for reduced fertility
discovered within the past decade is the exposure to potential
hazardous substances such as chemical, radiation, physical,
biological, and occupational hazards. This exposure includes
anything from heavy metals and gases to pathogens and toxins and
any substance that interferes with natural biological functions of
the exposed workers, pregnant and breast-feeding workers, and young
working population. There also must be research focused on
developmental hazards that alter the structure and function of the
developing embryo as well. The different climatic factors in the
era of climate change need to be explored to discuss the impacts on
fertility. Climate Change and Its Impact on Fertility highlights
the issues and concerns that address the latest impact of climate
change and mitigation strategies for enhancing early embryo
survival and uterine potential. This book covers the effects of
climate change on both the biological parents and the embryo by
discussing the negative impacts, providing an overview of the
variety of climate changes currently affecting fertility, and
exploring possible solutions. This book is ideally intended for
medical scientists and doctors, reproductive biologists,
experimental toxicologists, mammalian cell biologists, clinicians,
embryologists, health and safety agencies/regulatory authorities,
public health officials, and policymakers along with practitioners,
stakeholders, researchers, academicians, and students interested in
climate change and its link to embryo growth, developmental risk,
implantation failure, and fertility.
