Pollution is destroying the male sex

The Independent - It's official: Men really are the weaker sex

This is a comprehensive collection of various studies done all over the world that show various pollutants affecting the endocrine functioning of organisms, specifically male reproductive organs, sperm production, and in general the feminizing of males, including humans. The pollutants include food wrapping, flame retardant furniture, some plastics, and much else in the water, soil, and air. The lack of regulation and limits on pollution have affected vertebrate organisms all over the world, feminizing them, for instance making them hermaphroditic, giving them smaller or non-functioning sex organs. This includes human males as well. This could explain why heavily polluted areas are now seeing more girls born than boys, reversing the usual demographic of roughly 50/50.
