Exposure to reproductive hazards in the
workplace is an increasing health concern. Reproductive hazards are substances
or agents that affect the reproductive health of women or men or the ability of
couples to have healthy children. These hazards may cause problems such as infertility,

such as workplace chemicals, and physical and
biological agents can cause damage to the reproductive systems of both male and
female workers. The following questions link
