We examined associations between occupation and semen parameters in demonstrably fertile men in the Study for Future Families (SFF). Associations of occupation and workplace exposures with semen volume, sperm concentration, motility, and morphology were assessed using generalized linear modeling. Lower sperm concentration and motility were seen in installation, maintenance, and repair occupations. Higher exposure to lead, and to other toxicants, was seen in occupations with lower mean sperm concentrations (for lead, prevalence ratio 4.1; pesticides/insecticides 1.6; solvents 1.4). Working with lead for >3 months was associated with lower sperm concentration, as was lead exposure outside of work. We found evidence in demonstrably fertile men for reduced sperm quality with lead, pesticide/herbicide and solvent exposure. These results may identify occupations where protective measures against male reproductive toxicity might be warranted.
