Abstract

Among the factors of man or woman sterility some of them may be due to occupation. The identification of these factors may be performed through epidemiological studies; the fertility indices taken into account and the epidemiological strategies used are briefly described. As examples the results of studies on man hypofertility induced by dibromochloropropane and ionising radiations are presented.
