Reproduction in Crisis
Drops in sperm counts of more than 60% in North American, European and Australian men between 1973 and 2018 means humans could face a reproductive crisis.
Writing in the journal Human Reproduction Update, researchers warn the decline is accelerating and that declines were also occurring in Central and South America, Africa and Asia. It’s unclear what might be behind the apparent trend, but exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals or other environmental factors could be factors.
