Is Air Pollution a Male Organ Health Problem?
by John Dugan OwnerEnvironmental issues are a major concern for everyone on the
planet, as our lives depend on maintaining a livable environment. Potential
health issues related to pollution have been documented and discussed for
years. But beyond overall health, is air pollution a factor in male organ
health? Some recent studies suggest that yes, it may well be.
The pollution problem
According to the U.S. National Institute of Environmental Health
Sciences, air pollution is defined as “a mixture of natural and man-made
substances in the air we breathe.” These substances either are not meant to be
inhaled into the human body at all or else only in small quantities. When these
substances are too abundant in the air, people cannot help but inhale them,
which can potentially cause significant health problems. Among the problems
associated with air pollution are respiratory diseases, heart diseases,
pregnancy issues, and much more.
Air pollution is a widespread problem. The American Lung
Association estimates that more than 40 percent of Americans are at risk of
death or disease due to air pollution. Worldwide, air pollution resulted in 4.2
million early deaths in 2016 alone, with 90 percent of those deaths occurring
in poor and underdeveloped countries. Ninety-two percent of the people in the
world live where that air pollution is considered unsafe.
The male organ impact
Air pollution doesn’t just affect organs like the heart and lungs;
it also appears to have an impact on male organ health as well and in at least
2 ways.
Tumescence function. A recent study from China looked at the effects of vehicle
exhaust on otherwise healthy rats. (Yes, this study is looking at rats, which
are clearly not human – no matter what some people may snidely assert. But it’s
unethical to conduct tests of this sort on human subjects, as it could lead to
possibly permanent damage to their health.)
The rats were divided into 4 groups of 10 rats each. One group
received no exposure to vehicle exhaust. The other 3 groups received,
respectively, 2 hours, 4 hours, and 6 hours of exposure each day, 5 days a
week. The higher the rate at which the rats were exposed to air pollution, the
greater the incidence of tumescence dysfunction that developed among the poor
little fellows.
Again, this study looked at animals, not humans, but it does
suggest that breathing in a lot of air pollution is bad for a man’s tumescence
status.
Male seed quality. Another study has focused on what exposure to air pollution may
do to male seed quality. Once again, this study – conducted in Brazil – focused
not on humans but on mice, again for the reason stated above.
Once again, the subjects were divided into 4 groups. One group
received only healthy filtered air. A second was exposed to air pollution only
while they were in the womb. For a third group, exposure to air pollution started
during pregnancy and continued until adulthood. And a fourth group was not
exposed during pregnancy but was exposed after birth until adulthood.
All of the mice exposed to air pollution exhibited damaged male
seed; the longer they were exposed to air pollution, the more damage there was
to their male seed. Again, assuming that this same pattern holds true for
humans, it implies that men with greater exposure to air pollution will have a
greater number of damaged male seed.
More studies are needed, but it does seem clear that increasing
air pollution will have negative effects on men exposed to it.
Air pollution is a complicated male organ health problem; for more
everyday issues, men should avail themselves of a superior male organ health
oil (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically
proven mild and safe for skin). Look for oils that contain both L-arginine
and alpha lipoic acid. L-arginine, an amino acid, helps the body produce the nitric
oxide that enables manhood blood vessels to accommodate increased blood flow.
Alpha lipoic acid, a powerful antioxidant, fights free radicals that can cause
significant oxidative damage.
