June 2011 in Trying to Get Pregnant

I am starting to wonder if my DH's job as a Diesel Mechanic could be effecting his sperm. I know you gals can't tell me if it is or not I am just asking if you think it could be. He is quiting in a few months to become a Police officer so that will take the chemicals away.

Can working around those chemicals all day have an effect on him. He does wear gloves to work in and is really careful but he is around a lot of chemicals.

What do you think?

Sure it could be. Or it could not be. Have YH call his doctor.

I don't know how to do that clever, "Here, let me Google that for you" link.
Here's a couple of pagesI found when I Googled "diesel sperm":
https://www.environmentalhealthnews.org/ehs/newscience/particulates-lower-sperm-in-mice-exposed-in-utero/
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19032683
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1600-0773.1993.tb00303.x/abstract
There's also a band with a MySpace page called Diesel Sperm.
