Environmental endocrine disruptors have been at the heart of
discussions about chemicals and their effects on fertility, but the
focus has been on organic compounds and the role of metals has been
largely overlooked - until now. Taking an organ-system-based
approach, Metals, Fertility, and Reproductive Toxicity examines the
effects of metals found in the everyday environment on fertility
rates in humans and animal populations. This volume summarizes and
evaluates the literature in the area of metal effects on fertility
and reproduction in humans, laboratory animals, and wildlife.
International experts have contributed chapters that explore how
the ovary, testes, uterine system, and neuroendocrine system, among
others, respond to metal exposure. Reviewing both current knowledge
and cutting edge data, the chapters focus on either a particular
metal or a particular population. A massive amount of data on this
subject has been generated, summarized, and reviewed over the
years. While there are many books available on metals toxicity and
on reproductive toxicity, no current book explores both in the same
volume. Culling information from throughout the literature, Metals,
Fertility, and Reproductive Toxicity supplies an in-depth look at
the role of metals in endocrine disruption and the spectrum of
mechanisms involving metals that can influence reproduction.
