Microplastic Exposure and Male Infertility: Mechanisms, Effects on Semen Quality and Emerging Human Evidence

Bhuneshwar Behra, Sunil Kumar Nayak, Alka Mishra & Mohammed Shoeb · Asian Journal of Biology · 2026

Microplastics and nanoplastics are increasingly detected across environmental media and in human biological matrices, including blood, semen, and testicular tissue, raising concern about possible effects on male reproductive health. This review evaluates the principal mechanisms...

Pesticide and Herbicide Exposure and Male Reproductive Health: A Critical Narrative Review of Semen Quality, Sperm Genomic Integrity and Mechanistic Evidence

Bhuneshwar Behra, Sunil Kumar Nayak, Alka Mishra & Mohammed Shoeb · Annual Research & Review in Biology · 2026

Pesticides are heterogeneous biological control agents, and herbicides are one functional subgroup within this broader category. Concern about their effects on male reproduction is sustained by occupational cohorts, biomonitoring studies in the general population, and experimenta...

Lifestyle Factors and Semen Parameters in Rural and Urban Populations of Chhattisgarh: A Systematic Review

Bhuneshwar Behra, Sunil Kumar Nayak, Mohammed Shoeb & Alka Mishra · Asian Journal of Biology · 2026

Background: Regional evidence linking modifiable exposures with semen quality in Chhattisgarh is sparse, and clinic or agricultural settings cannot be assumed to represent urban or rural residence. Objective: To synthesise associations between lifestyle-related or occupational/en...

Environmental Arsenic Exposure and Male Fertility: A Critical Narrative Review of Human Evidence, Mechanisms and Translational Uncertainty

Sunil Kumar Nayak, Bhuneshwar Behra, Mohammed Shoeb & Alka Mishra · Asian Journal of Biology · 2026

Arsenic is a widespread environmental metalloid whose inorganic forms contaminate drinking water, food chains, soil and air. Male reproductive toxicity is biologically plausible because spermatogenesis, steroidogenesis and post-testicular sperm maturation depend on tightly regula...
