- The man is getting infertile. But why is this happening? What is acting in the industrialized world? - Questions are the expert in andrology and male fertility.

This question was the starting point for a study of the Award winning Health! 2008, in the category of Human Health. Hallak states that pollution influences the production of the Y chromosome in testis, which is more fragile. This chromosome is responsible for the birth of males (XY).


The study was published in over one hundred countries and attracted the attention of health professionals to show a reduction in the number of male fetuses in rodents and humans, as a result of pollution. Hallak clarifies that the birth of males up to less than 1%.

But how do you know if the man is in trouble? There is a simple test, called espermograma, which can be done when the couple decides to get pregnant. The test will measure the fertility of men.
