Abstract: 
Occupational exposures in different industries may pose serious health impacts. A number of epidemiological studies have focused on the association of these occupational exposures and adverse health effects. The need of the hour is to focus on the reproductive health of female workers working at different jobs in varied industries. Increasing environmental as well as occupational exposures have led to serious effects on the reproductive health of women and have also endangered the life of future generations. The present paper attempts to focus the impacts of occupational exposures on female reproductive health. Future health based researches are recommended so as to assess the impact of occupational exposures on reproductive capabilities of women workers in different industries.
