EVALUATION OF SPERM QUALITY OF PEOPLE SPRAYING ORGANOPHOSPHATE PESTICIDES EXPOSURE IN AN GIANG PROVINCE
Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: The male sperm quality tends to decrease due to many reasons, including exposure to pesticides. Objective: to determine sperm quality the exposure status of OPs-based pesticides of spraying people in An Giang province, the Mekong Delta. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study on 184 subjects. Results: The exposure group had abnormal indicators such as density is 14.7%, total sperm count is 13.8%, progressive motility is 62.9%, the abnormal sperm shape is 26.7% higher than the non-exposure group. Pearson's test analysis had an inverse relationship between PChE and semen parameters, except for sperm immobility, which had a negative correlation (p <0.001). Conclusion: The results reflect that exposure to OP pesticides is associated with reduced PChE and sperm quality, providing evidence of the risks of pesticide exposure
