REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY

Reproductive toxicity refers to the capacity of certain chemicals or substances to harm the reproductive system, affecting fertility, pregnancy, or the development of offspring. This can lead to difficulties in conceiving, miscarriages, birth defects, or health issues in children. Such effects may occur from exposure to pollutants, drugs, or chemicals present in the environment or workplace. Understanding reproductive toxicity helps identify substances that could pose risks to reproductive health, guiding safety regulations and protective measures for individuals and future generations.
