摘要：Introduction and objective. The male reproductive system constitutes a set of tissues which are particularly sensitive toexternal factors. The aim of the study was to analyze the relationship between background radioactivity and the quality ofthe semen of the men who have reported to the infertility treatment facility in 2000–2016 in the Lublin region of easternPoland.Materials and method. The radioactivity of the ground-level air layer obtained from the Institute of Meteorology andWater Management in Włodawa in the Lublin region was analysed. 4,250 spermiograms of patients who reported to thetreatment facility for the first time due to infertility were analysed and correlated to background radioactivity in the Lublinregion in 2000–2016.Results. A long-term decrease in the percentage of morphologically normal spermatozoa of the patients was observed(r=-0.970; p<0.001 in 2000–2009 and r=-0.925; p=0.003 in 2010–2016). Men’s age correlated negatively with sperm motility(r=-0.164; p=0.009) and morphology (r=-0.186; p=0.009). The percentage of spermatozoa with normal morphology waslowered by beta-isotopes of artificial origin in the air in 2000–2009 (r=-0.655; p=0.040) and by the exposure to gammaradiation of the ground-level atmosphere in 2010–2016 (r=-0.676; p=0.048). The percentage of sperm vitality was lowered bygamma radiation in the atmosphere (r=-0.636; p=0.006), but improved by beta isotopes in precipitation (r=0.686; p=0.002)in the whole of the analyzed period.Conclusions. The percentage of morphologically normal spermatozoa in patients who reported to the infertility treatmentdepends not only on the age of patient, but also on beta-isotopes of artificial origin and gamma radiation in the atmosphere.Beta isotopes in precipitation affect the improvement of sperm vitality.
