Researchers from Poland discussed the effect of ionizing radiation (IR) originating from artificial sources, particularly medical ones, on the male reproductive system. Their review was published in the journal Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine.
The researchers believe that the reproductive risk of IR exposure, especially from medical sources, should be considered due to the prevalence of infertility.
