A serious drop in sperm counts globally has been linked to chemicals in plastics, such as phthalates and bisphenols, affecting male fertility.
These chemicals disrupt hormones, especially in developing fetuses, leading to problems like lower sperm counts and other reproductive issues.
The rate of decline is faster than previously thought, emphasizing the urgent need for stricter regulations and safer plastic alternatives.
Reducing exposure to these chemicals through mindful choices and supporting strong environmental policies is crucial for protecting future generations.
