Environmental pollution isn’t just having a terrible effect on our lungs – its impact can be felt in every area of our health, including our reproductive systems. Dr. Shanna Swan, an environmental and reproductive epidemiologist at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, reveals in her new book Countdown that not only are our fertility rates dropping as human beings, but men’s penis sizes are shrinking due to the chemical damage we’ve inflicted on the planet.
The chemicals responsible for disrupting these important hormones are found in everyday items including plastic containers, cleaning products, electronics, body care products such as shampoos and skincare, and more. There are even PFAs, also known as “forever chemicals” that literally never degrade and just continue to amass in your body, causing irreparable harm.
One important and devastating fact Swan points out in her book is that sperm levels have dropped 60% since 1973. That’s an average of 1.25% drop per year, which is pretty scary! If we continue on this path, sperm levels could become nonexistent by 2045, Swan says, which isn’t very far away. That means no more reproduction and no more babies.
It’s not just men that are seeing lower fertility rates – women are also suffering. Considering that women have a much smaller window in which they can have children in the first place, this is even more concerning. “In some parts of the world, the average twentysomething woman today is less fertile than her grandmother was at 35,” Swan writes in her book. “The current state of reproductive affairs can’t continue much longer without threatening human survival … It’s a global existential crisis.”
