This study is part of the multicentre EcoFood- Fertility project, a biomonitoring study with multi-disciplinary approaches involving life-style and diet, which has built a nationwide network of actions in several highly polluted living areas of Italy. In this workweused a double approach to analyse the Volatile Organic Compound (VOCs) component in 4 different biosamples (whole blood, urine, human semen and hairs) of young men living in two polluted areas of Central and Southern Italy (Valle del Sacco and Terra dei Fuochi). The double approach is basedontwodifferent technologies: (a) SPME-GC/MS (solid phase microextraction-gas chromatograph and mass spectrometer) system and (b) array of gas sensors. The aim for comparing the bioaccumulation capacity of the human semen with other biological matrices.
