Microplastics and Reproductive Health: Interview with Professor Luigi Montano | ALLATRA ITALY

In this exclusive interview with ALLATRA Italy, Professor Luigi Montano – uro-andrologist at the Salerno Local Health Authority (ASL), Head of the Environmental Pathology and Lifestyle Medicine Unit in Uro-Andrology at the San Francesco d'Assisi Hospital, Coordinator of the ECOFOOD FERTILITY research project, Past President of the Italian Society of Human Reproduction, and Ph.D. in Evolutionary Biology and Ecology – addresses one of the most pressing topics in contemporary science: the potential impact of micro- and nanoplastics on human reproductive health.

The interview analyzes the global decline in male reproductive potential and worsening male fertility parameters, alongside scientific data regarding the presence of micro- and nanoplastics in various biological environments of the human body, including blood, urine, semen, and follicular fluid. This is a scientific conversation about the importance of a more conscious relationship with the environment, protecting human health, and understanding the new challenges linked to the current levels of planetary pollution.
