The results show a 52 per cent decline in sperm concentration and a 59 per cent decline in total sperm count over a period of about 40 years ending in 2011. Dr Levine himself speculates that the recorded decline in sperm count and concentrations among western men could be blamed on exposure to many toxic chemicals in the environment. Previous studies – Levine’s included – indicate that chemicals that affect hormonal functions harm male reproductive system development and fertility potential. “The male reproductive organs are supposed to experience temperatures lower than the body’s,” he says.
