Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to assess ejaculate contamination by polychlorinated dibenzopdioxins/furans in male infertility The database of 168 infertile and 49 fertile men was included in the study Dioxin content was determined using gas chromatography/highresolution mass spectrometry GC/HRMS In the ejaculate of infertile men the content of dioxins and furans was 22–23 times higher than in fertile donors The maximum level of the most toxic dioxin congener was detected in pathospermia Contamination of semen of infertile men by polychlorinated dibenzopdioxins/furans supports the hypothesis about the relationship between environmental factors and reproductive health
