Year: 2015

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: : Air pollution is mostly dominated by motor vehicle exhaust gas. Lead is one of motor vehicle exhaust gas that is one of toxic heavy metal, one of which is a toxicant for sperm. This study was aimed to demonstrate effect of lead acetate on the concentration and sperm morphology in mice. Mice (Mus musculus) Balb/c divided into 2 groups. K group was the control group, P group was given with lead acetate 0.075 g/Kg BW 1x/day or ally for 35 days. Result, all data were normally distributed and homogeneus, then analyzed using One Way Anova test. Result showed significant difference in sperm concentration and normal -shaped sperm morphology. In conclusion, lead acetate can significant reduce sperm concentration and normal-shaped sperm morphology in mice Balb/c (Mus musculus).
