Is Air Pollution a Male Organ Health
Problem?
Environmental 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
www.man1health.com
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.
