[size=18]Ozone hits sperm count as well as lungs: study[/size]

[size=16]LONDON (Reuters) - Smog is not just bad for the lungs. It can hit a man's sperm count too, a Californian study revealed on Wednesday.
The University of Southern California looked at the sperm counts of 48 men who donated at least 10 times in two years to a Los Angeles sperm bank.
Using air pollution measurements from the area where each man lived, Rebecca Sokol's team estimated how much pollutant they were exposed to in the days leading up to each donation.
The team, from the University's Keck School of Medicine, found that ozone formed in smoggy air was the only pollutant that appeared to be linked to decreased sperm production. Carbon monoxide seemed to have no effect.
Ozone cannot reach the testicles directly but Sokol, whose findings were published in The New Scientist magazine, said it may cause an inflammatory response or produce toxic substances in the blood that damage sperm.[/size]

n my case this would be a good thing
-
wow.....I'll have to pass that to the hubby....but then he may decide to do nothing BUT hang out in the tub, trying to "sniff" the ozone....hmmm
-
I would be more concerned about the temperature than the ozone, if that were a concern...fortunately it is not! ;)
-
I gotta get me an ozonator for my hot tub
-
I have 4 children. I am going out to my hot tub to turn the ozonator on high....

It may cause an inflammatory response or it may produce toxic substances in the blood that maybe could damage sperm possibly. Maybe.....well I guess we just don't know. But we spent alot of money on this cool study that means nothing!!!!!
