The study found that majority of men who were exposed to high temperature at their workplace — welders, dyers, blast furnace workers and those employed in cement and steel factories — were more prone to infertility.
This is because the additional environmental heat increases the temperature of the scrotum, causing a negative effect on sperm production.
Over 12-18 million couples in India are diagnosed with infertility every year.
AIIMS doctors say a one degree elevation in testicular temperature leads to 14% depression of spermatogenesis.

Dr. Mahanta,
Thanks for the update.
I too read this article in TOI. I discussed with companys Doctor, whereever there is heat stress hazard, we can include tests of sperms.
In India it is relatively easy but overseas units of companies would find it difficult as medical tests by the company are treated as encroachment on employees private life.
However there is necessity of further R&D onGenesis of this problem.
Your expert advise please.
Thanks & Regards,
