I think he is referring to research that suggests that the apparent
global reduction in male sperm counts, could be linked to many of the
compounds used as plasticisers since they are very "oestrogen like" in
chemical make-up. Especially when combined with the large contribution
of extra synthetic oestrogens from birth control pills that also
ultimately gets released into the environment
