摘要: Certain effects on human reproductive health have been observed in the last few decades. Several studies from Denmark, France, United Kingdom, Belgium and Greece suggest a decline semen quality. Concomitantly, incidence of testicular cancer, hypospadias cryptorchidism appear to be increasing. There is evidence suggesting that some man-made chemicals are functioning as hormones acting living organisms exposed them by mimicking or inhibiting action endogenous steroid including oestrogens.
