Chemicals found in food packaging, pesticides and household items may contribute to reducing fertility in women, the study said..
Based on a study of 1,240 women, scientists at the University of California in Los Angeles found that those of the women whose blood was found to have increased amounts of fluoride compounds could not get pregnant longer than others, reports "FactNews".
The study, published in the journal Human Reproduction, is preliminary and requires re-analysis, notes Mark Henderson.
"We are waiting for further research that will confirm our findings to understand whether fluoride compounds should be added to the list of factors that provoke infertility," said Professor John Olsen, who led the study.
