Klíčová slova: newborn sex ratio * spontaneous abortions
Kód oboru RIV: DN - Vliv životního prostředí na zdraví
A greater vulnerability to prenatal damage leading to abortion is evident in male embryos/foetuses than in female. The newborn sex ratio (birth rate of boys/girls) is a very stable parameter in healthy populations. A decrease in this ratio has been reported after exposure to some harmful environmental factors. We document a decrease in the male birth fraction in the Czech Republic after the Chernobyl disaster in 1986.
