Abstract
Sprem samples from the people accidentally exposed to Methyl isocyanate (MIC) were studied for sprem morphology and motility and recorded no significant differences in sperm abnormalities between the exposed and matched control groups. But there is a decrease in the semen volume and total number of sperms in the exposed group.
