# University of Cape Town professor Aqiel Dalvie is featured in a new United Kingdom documentary examining the impact of environmental chemicals on fertility. His research in South Africa has found widespread pesticide exposure in vulnerable communities, with studies indicating possible links to fertility problems in adults and children. The documentary aims to raise awareness of the issue and support further research. Dalvie says growing evidence suggests chemicals found in products such as plastics, pesticides and cosmetics may affect reproductive health.
