b) Environmental factors: An environmental factor includes the exposure to industrial chemicals and radiation and overheating of the testicles. The production of sperm mainly depends on the temperature of the testicles. The scrotum regulates the temperature of the testes. However, if there is an extreme heat situation, the natural cooling of scrotums could be insufficient to prevent the rise in testicular temperature. It has been found that the increase in temperature affects both the quality and quantity of the production of the sperm.
