Plastic pollution alert, after 20 years most couples risk having no children

Margaret Atwood had predicted this 36 years ago when he published the novel The Handmais Tale in Canada. At some point most men will be sterile, and almost all women will not be able to bear a child. A little “candidate “for pregnancy, will become servants of the elite men who will reproduce through a “natural “”. The most unfortunate will be the joint slaves in the poor' “Colonels”. The beautiful book has become a “modosity” of new feminism. It reminds us of where we have reached and how much we can lose. Also, the fact that this future - at least on a reproductive level - is all but unrealistic. A different pandemic emergency, but no less dangerous, threatens human species if we don't hurry to take measures.

Alarm from the United States: plastic chemicals are causing a decline in fertility and serious physical abnormalities in fetuses. This has been happening for some time in animals and now begins the “deadlocking back” for the next demographic collapse in human species due to environmental conditions. Challenge for the European Union as well.

The latest essay by American Chana H. Chan, Count Down, demonstrates with scientific data and analysis how chemical plastics are causing a drastic decline in fertility. Epidemiologist at the Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York four years ago was coauthored by a study that revealed how the number of sperms of the average Western man between 1973 and 2011 had dropped by 59%. A «Spermeddon», already identified in animals, caused by the presence of the senters of plastic endocrine, was found in human cells. Chemicals are also found in the umbilical cord. The heading of the essay, following that research, is very clear: “As the modern world is threatening the number of spermoids, changing the reproductive development of men and women, and risking the future of human species”.

Green Anomalies

Not only has the number of sperms been reduced, but newborns are developing more and more commonly, and adult women have a higher incidence of spontaneous abortions.

These are issues that people don't want to talk about”, Swan said in an interview for The Guardian, but that could have serious consequences in the demographic future of the planet and on human survival itself.

At this rate, out of 2045 most couples will have to use pregnancy aids to bear children. Moreover, there is clear evidence that the risk of abortion is also increasing in all ages”.

Endocrine Separators 

The most dangerous substances are those that can interfere with or imitate the body's sexual hormones, such as testosterone and estrogen because they're “that undermine the body by believing that there's no more need to naturally produce those hormones. Phthalates, used to make soft and flexible plastics, are the main causers.

They reduce sperm production in men while lowering lust and increasing the risk of premature abortions or births in women.

They are also used for food production, processing and packing. The bisfenol used to strengthen plastic, which is found in plastic bottles or other foods that are in contact with food, is another trigger.

Imitating the estrogen, it is especially dangerous for women's fertility. Other dangerous substances are pesticides, such as attralines and a number of brothed flames.

Fetus exhibit

The greatest danger lies in the stage of fetus formation. Separators may reach embryoal cells from which the eggs will be formed in a female fetus, which should then allow the future woman to bear children.

On the other hand, male fetuses can cause physical anomalies that are increasingly common today. Angogenic distance (AGD) is one of the factors that allow us to identify anomalies caused by these chemicals, according to Swan.

“This indicates the number of male and female Androgens to which a child was exposed during early stages of pregnancy. If we were to measure it to each newborn, we would know what their fertility would be in the future. The shorter AGD in men and the longest AGD in females show less success in reproduction, says the researcher.

In October, EU Commission Deputy Chairman Frans Timmmermans announced the disruption of consumption products of agents that interfere with the hormone system such as phallatas and bisphorenols, and stable ssubstances such as polyfluoro-alkl or PFAS causing anomalies.

Italian Study and Venice Issue

A study by the Andrology Society registered a general decrease in the number of spermoids by about 30% compared to 25 years ago.

“If androggen is missing in people, during the phase of anemonic development, angogenic distance decreases, explains former President Carlo Foresta, professor of endocrinology at the University of Padua.

“Our study revealed where I concentrate PFAS is higher, as in Venice, the distance to 20s decreases, as well as the volume of testicles and the length of the penis “.

The genital anomalies are displayed - even more clearly - in some types of animals in highly polluted areas.

Like the extremely small penises in the alligators, the screws, and the minions. Also among the male and female fish, frogs, and turtles. And polar bears with structural modifications of the reproductive system.

European REACH Adjust

In Europe, several steps have been taken to prevent the dividers of endocrine, with the 2006 REACH regulation, which the Commission now wants to update: it provides (on paper) strict restrictions and restrictions on the use of endocrinors.

“However, the Ministry of Health says, there are still no common criteria at the international and European level that allow them to identify”.

Studies show that annual health costs from endocrine disruptors total 163 billion euros.

In October, EU Commission Deputy Chairman Frans Timmmermans announced the removal of consumption products of agents with their own access to the hormone system as phallatas and bisphenol and stable substances such as PfP. Approval of common criteria to identify endocrine corrupters is expected by the end of the year. How can we avoid them in the meantime?

The New York Times recommends that food not be heated in plastic vessels and avoid pesticides, tobacco, dust, air flavorers, plastic shower curtains.
