Description

This study investigated the impact of persistent organohalogen pollutant (POP) exposure on the reproductive function of Inuit men from Greenland and men from Warsaw, Poland, and Kharkiv, Ukraine. The authors found that gonadotropin levels and sex hormone-binding globulin may be affected by POP exposure but there is considerable geographic variation.
