Exposure to CB-153 and p,p'-DDE and male reproductive function [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Reproduction, 2004
During the last decades, there has been concern that exposure to endocrine disruptors, such as persistent organochlorine pollutants (POPs), may contribute to an impairment of male reproductive function. To investigate whether exposure to 2,2'4,4'5,5'-hexachlorobiphenyl (CB-153) and 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis (p-chlorophenyl)-ethylene (p,p'-DDE) affects semen

Environmental Organochlorines and Semen Quality: Results of a Pilot Study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
There have been numerous studies that suggest that sperm concentrations (sperm counts) are declining in men. However, other studies suggest that sperm counts are not declining or may be increasing in some areas.

Identification of common genetic variants associated with serum concentrations of p, p′-DDE in non-occupational populations in eastern China

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2021
Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) is the major and most stable toxic metabolite of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), a well-known organochlorine pesticide banned worldwide in the 1980s. However, it remains easy to detect in humans, and internal
