Systematic review of the association between oil and natural gas extraction processes and human reproduction

Abstract: This systematic review identified 45 original published research articles related to oil and gas extraction activities and human reproductive endpoints. Reproductive outcomes were categorized as [1] birth outcomes associated with maternal exposure, [2] semen quality, fertility, and birth outcomes associated with adult paternal exposure, [3] reproductive cancers, and [4] disruption of human sex steroid hormone receptors. The results indicate there is moderate evidence for an increased risk of preterm birth, mis… Show more

“…However, several potential mechanisms have been proposed. Endocrine disruption is a possible mechanism through which many UGD-related contaminants may affect preterm birth ( Balise et al. 2016 ; Elliott et al.…”

“…As it was necessary to undergo a global prioritization method to identify answerable PICO questions, there inevitably are a number of questions in the diagnosis of male infertility not addressed by the WHO ESG and thus absent from this manuscript. For example, the effect of paternal age, alcohol and environment on male fertility (those interested can consult for example: Age— Eisenberg & Meldrum, 2017 ; Nybo-Andersen and Urjoj, 2017 ; Johnson et al , 2015 ; Ramasamy et al , 2015 ; Alcohol— Karmon et al , 2017 ; Jensen et al , 2014 ; Oil and natural gas extraction— Balise et al , 2016 ; Bisphenol A— Mínguez-Alarcón et al 2016 ; Outdoor air pollution— Lafuente et al , 2016 ).…”

“…A large body of literature has been devoted to exploring a wide variety of maternal exposures that could lead to sex ratio biases in humans (Amalie et al, ; Balise et al, ; Blaffer Hrdy, ; Fukuda, Fukuda, Shimizu, Andersen, & Byskov, ; James & Grech, ; Koshy, Delpisheh, Brabin, Attia, & Brabin, ; Navara, ; Safe, ; Scialli et al, ; Terrell, Hartnett, & Marcus, ; Williams & Gloster, ; Williams, Lawson, & Lloyd, ). Articles vary from those that focus on the effects of specific socio‐ecological exposures (Amalie et al, ; Balise et al, ; Safe, ; Scialli et al, ; Terrell et al, ), to those that examine the biological mechanisms that mediate their effects (Navara, , ), to those that investigate the evolution of the links between exposures and outcomes (Myers, ; Sieff et al, ). Within this last category, the Trivers and Willard hypothesis () stands out as particularly useful for understanding sex ratio in several mammalian species, including humans (also see, Myers (1978) and Williams (1979)).…”
