Summary:
Objective: To summarize the fi ndings about the infl uence of some xenobiotics on human reproduction,
especially infertility.
Type of study: Review article.
Setting: The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1st Medical Faculty, Charles University
and the General Faculty Hospital, Prague
Methods: Analysis of literature.
Results: A review about the infl uence of some xenobiotics on human reproduction was given.
In some there is a possible negative infl uence on the results of in vitro fertilisation program. It
is a question of hormone disruptors, some haevy metals, some organic solvents, pesticides and
smoking of cigarettes.
Conclusion: In most of these xenobiotics there is direct evidence of their negative infl uence on
reproduction and the results of in vitro fertilisation program. Therefore it is worth to continue
in this evaluation.
Key words:
xenobiothics, human reproduction, infertility
