- Toxins plus climate harms likely cause of reduced fertility, study finds
A peer-reviewed study reveals that combined exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (common in plastics) and climate change impacts, such as heat stress, likely causes reproductive harm across humans, wildlife, and invertebrates. The research highlights an 'alarming' link between these factors and the global decline in fertility.
