The present study showed the sperm DNA fragmentation level in control group was 26.32±11.25, in office workers and in direct exposed workers were 2.35±14.54 and 46.73±16.28 respectively. The result revealed the significant difference between the control and the other two groups (P≤0.05) but no difference between the office workers and the direct exposed workers. Sperm DNA fragmentation (DFI ) showed a correlation with the NQO1 ( r ) =-0.673.
