According to the report prepared by the staff of the Medical school of the University of Washington, by 2050 the world will face a “reproductive Apocalypse” due to the fact that men’s ability to procreate will be weakened dramatically. Speaking about the reasons for this phenomenon, the American experts point to such factors as sedentary lifestyle of men, their enthusiasm for the alcohol and junk food, the deterioration of the environment.
Scientists have studied the medical records of 43 thousands of men-volunteers from different countries and analyzed their biological samples. As a result, the experts stated: in modern men seriously deteriorating the quality of sperm, and this process is biased. If prevailing trends persist, by 2050, the representatives of the stronger sex are at risk almost completely lose the ability to procreate, I suppose the authors of the project.
“Over the past 40 years, the number of spermatozoa in the semen of men around the world fell by 53%. If in the early 1970-ies of their number had srednesetevoj 99 million per milliliter of biological material, by 2011, the concentration dropped to 47 million,” – said the researchers.
It is symptomatic that not so many bad habits (although their influence is also noticeable), but the deterioration of the environment scientists call a particularly dangerous factor that brings “reproductive Apocalypse”. According to them, technological progress, increased air emissions, as well as the massive use of plastic are the circumstances, whose influence on the human body over recent decades has changed dramatically, becoming more substantive and negative.
