Based on a United Kingdom study on more than 2,000 men undertaking fertility clinics, men working with glycol solvents turned out to be 250 percent more likely to lose ability to produce "healthy" sperms.
The Universities of Manchester and Sheffield undertook a joint research project were men were asked on there lifestyles and jobs to seek probable causes of sperm motility problems.
The research revealed that painters, decorators, and those who are regularly exposed on glycol ethers, chemicals commonly used as solvents for water-based paint are two-and-a-half times more prone to fertility problems.
Men's ability to father a baby is factored on the sperm motility, referring to the amount of movement of individual sperm, which serves as a part of measuring male fertility.
Other chemicals found on paint had no impact on fertility based on the Occupational and Environmental Medicine study, the research added.
