Young Danes' sperm count dips (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/736230.stm)
By environment correspondent Alex Kirby
Almost half of 700 Danish army recruits have been found to have sperm counts low enough to make it hard for them to father children.

Chemical exposure tied to sperm count:
Substance found in cosmetics, plastics can be measured in urine (http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/2003/05.22/18-semen.html)
In a study of the possible association between phthalate exposure and human semen quality, researchers at the School of Public Health's (SPH) Occupational Health Program have found an association between select phthalates and low sperm count, low sperm motility, and an increased percent of abnormally shaped sperm among a group of men from couples seeking treatment at a fertility clinic in Boston. Low sperm count, low motility, and abnormal sperm morphology can affect the likelihood of conception but do not mean that a man is infertile...
If these reports are true, then we better take care of our future generation. :sweatdrop:
