| Abstract |
Sperm count data from 2 cohorts (107 and 71 men) exposed to dibromochloropropane (DBCP) and 2 cohorts (44 and 84 men) exposed to epichlorohydrin (ECH) and 4 control groups were studied. In both DBCP cohorts a significantly higher percentage of exposed workers was oligospermic, and the median sperm count for each exposed group was considerably lower than that of controls. In the ECH cohorts there was no difference in sperm count between exposed and non-exposed groups. The key to identifying and assessing occupationally related sperm count suppression is proper classification and interpretation of group sperm count data. |
