Abstract With the extensive use of the plastic products, the pollution of the microplastics has been widely concerned. The microplastics not only causes the environmental pollution, but also poses a great threat to the biological safety. Some studies have been found that the microplastics accumulates in the biological reproductive system of the human, and which has the toxic effects on their reproductive system and embryos. In this paper, the toxicity mechanism of the microplastics for the reproductive and embryonic development is reviewed, in order to provide theoretical and scientific evidences for preventing and controlling the reproductive toxicity caused by microplastics, and to strengthen the people's awareness of the environmental protection for maintaining their reproductive health.
