reprotoxicant
A reprotoxicant is a substance that can negatively affect sexual function and fertility in adult males and females. It can also be harmful to the development of the offspring. This includes effects on libido, fertility, and both the male and female reproductive systems. Additionally, reprotoxicants can impact pregnancy outcomes, causing adverse effects on the developing fetus or child, such as birth defects, developmental delays, or functional deficits. The World Health Organization categorizes reprotoxicants as substances that cause adverse effects on sexual function and fertility, and on development of the offspring.
Exposure to reprotoxicants can occur through various routes, including inhalation, ingestion, and skin contact. Common sources
