About this book
This book will focus on the harmful effect of environmental toxins on female reproductive health. Reproduction is the basis of the continuation of human beings, and environment is the basis of human survival. However, environmental pollution has become a potential risk factor for human reproductive health, which not only leads to many chronic diseases, but also causes certain harm to reproductive health. Compared to male reproduction, female reproductive process is more complex, the reproductive system is more fragile, and is more vulnerable to be damaged. The aim of this book is to review the research progress, to address the challenges, and to stimulate the development in the direction of environment and female reproductive health.

He became a full professor at Institute of Toxicology, School of Preventive Medicine, Third Military Medical University in 2013 and moved to Sichuan University in 2018.
Dr. Jie Yan, Associated Professor of Peking University Third Hospital. Her research group focus on the basic and clinical translation research on human fertility maintenance and preservation. She has clarified the important roles of in vivo microenvironment in human follicular development, revealed the regulation mechanism of microenvironment factors for human follicle development in vitro, established OP-IVM “egg bank” that has significantly improved pregnancy outcome, analyzed the bionicice control mechanism of germ cell cryopreservation, and invented the novel cryopreservation medium with natural amino acid as the core component that has already been translated. She has published 69 papers in Mol Cell or other international or national authoritative academic journals, which have been totally cited by 1733 times (H-index 20). She has won seven national authorized patents and the First Prize of Chinese Medical Science and Technology Award.Bibliographic Information
