Danish study used nationwide data to explore infertility.

Over 2 million men and women were identified as being of reproductive age.

Over a five-year period it cross-checked detailed information about where they lived and whether they received an infertility diagnosis.

The study found the risk of infertility was 24% greater for men exposed to PM2.5 levels 1.6 times higher than recommended by the World Health Organization .

For women, exposure to traffic noise at 10.2 decibels higher than average was associated with 14% increased infertility risk for those over 35 years .

After puberty, men constantly produce sperm — up to 300 million a day.
