The Main Cause of Declining Fertility Around the World Explained

Climate change, which affects us more and more in every aspect of our lives, will affect the future of our planet in a completely different way, according to a new study. According to research published in the journal Nature industrialized regions, Now fertility rate below the levels needed to sustain their populations in possession.

As a result of their study, the scientists behind the research concluded that reproductive health problems are partially caused by people directly or indirectly. exposure to chemicals from fossil fuels proved to be related. The data previously shared by the Lancet shows the fertility rate in 2017. down to 2,4 had shown. In 1950 this rate was 4.7.

Fossil fuels negatively affect reproductive health

The research also points out that declining birth rates began at the same time as industrialization and large-scale burning of fossil fuels. Scientists hypothesize that fossil fuels have a major negative impact on human reproduction. The research, which focused only on the Danish population, had the following results, which were announced to be applicable to the whole world:

• One in 10 Danish children in the last 50 years with medical assistance was born.
• More than 20% of men had no children.
• undesirable since 1990 pregnancy losses It increased by 1% – 2%.
• Globally, approximately 74,000 testicular cancer case occurs.
• for biological reasons infertility rates is increasing.

Chemicals produced using fossil fuels are found everywhere, from makeup to food containers. Toxic chemicals originating from fossil fuels are released through these products. human blood, urine, semen, placenta, breast milk and adipose tissue passing. Therefore, it interferes with the hormonal systems of the body and adversely affects reproductive health.

Researchers called for more protection for pregnant women to avoid this situation. chemicals in air pollution also on unborn babies and young children Suggesting that it has a number of negative effects, the researchers also predict that worsening fertility will cause mental harm to individuals in societies.
