Scientists have linked declining sperm counts worldwide to plastic additives, particularly phthalates and bisphenols, present in many everyday items.
These chemicals, used to soften or harden plastics, disrupt hormones and negatively impact reproductive health, especially during fetal development.
A recent study revealed a concerning acceleration in the decline of sperm counts, highlighting the urgent need for safer alternatives.
Experts strongly recommend reducing exposure to these harmful chemicals and support stricter regulations on their use in plastic production.
