Impact of working place on reproduction

Abstract

Women of childbearing potential and pregnant women are particularly vulnerable and deserve special attention in terms of occupational safety. Work environment can affect fertility, pregnancy and birth. Today we know many different harmful factors that can adversely affect a mother-to-be and her unborn child, and the data on the impact of certain factors on fertility is increasing. There is evidence that certain physical, chemical and biological factors are harmful for reproductive health. Today many researchers focus their work on the adverse effects of psychosocial stress.
