CHE-Fertility Highlights

Download the MP3 Recording from the Feb. 10 CHE-Fertility Call, Chemicals and Reproductive Health: The Male Predicament
Are fewer boys being born today than 30 years ago? How might
environmental chemicals be playing a role in this phenomenon? How might
these chemicals also impact male development and reproductive health in
boys that are born?
We addressed these questions on the call and heard presentations highlighting the new video released by The Endocrine Disruption Exchange, The Male Predicament,
in addition to new research on male birth defects, brain development
and behavior, sex ratios, anogenital distance and prostate cancer.
This call was moderated by Elise Miller, MEd, Director of the Collaborative on Health and the Environment. We heard a science update from Ted Schettler, MD, MPH, Science Director, Science and Environmental Health Network and the Collaborative on Health and the Environment. Featured Presenters included: Theo Colborn, PhD, President, The Endocrine Disruption Exchange (TEDX) and Professor, University of Florida, Gainesville; Shanna Swan,
PhD, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Associate Chair of
Research, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Professor of Environmental
Medicine, and Professor of Community and Preventative Medicine,
University of Rochester, School of Medicine and Dentistry; and Fred vom Saal, PhD, Professor, University of Missouri, Columbia, Division of Biological Sciences. Link to the call
** Stay tuned for an upcoming call announcement on flame retardants and reproductive health.
New Clinical Proceedings from Planned Parenthood and ARHP Planned
Parenthood and the Association of Reproductive Health Professionals
have just released an accredited clinical monograph on Environmental
Impacts on Reproductive Health. The purpose of the monograph is to
provide front-line clinicians with practical guidance on environmental
reproductive health issues, based on the best available evidence. Link to the clinical proceedings New report: The Health Case for Reforming the Toxic Substances Control Act. In the 34 years since TSCA was enacted, the EPA has been able to require testing on just 200 of the more than 80,000 chemicals produced and used in the U.S., and just five chemicals have been regulated under this law.Link to the report[See a related article: Stricter rules urged on toxic chemicals]

The Little Princes of Denmark: Why do Danes have smaller nuts than Finns - are toxins to blame? By Florence Williams
It's a source of parental pride when baby Buster needs the size "large" penis ring for his circumcision. Mother and father see their child's life unfold effortlessly: He will be flushed with testosterone, well-hung, and yet (somehow) sensitive to the needs of others-a caring leader of great integrity. But what happens when he comes out with a genital malformation?
If you're Danish, you compare the goods to those of your Baltic neighbors.
Concerned with a recent increase in male genital birth defects plus dropping sperm counts and higher rates of testicular cancer, Danish researchers have spent the last five years ranking their nether regions against those of the Finns. Both countries have excellent registry data, an accommodating research population, and a rivalry dating back to Viking-era tribes hitting one another with clubs. Whose cudgel is bigger? That is the question. Why should you care if you're neither Danish nor Finnish? Because the answer involves environmental toxins that have made their way around the globe.

Air pollution 'may cause 35,000 premature deaths a year in Britain.' Air pollution may be leading to the premature deaths of 35,000 people in Britain a year - nearly 50% more than has been previously admitted by government, a committee of MPs has heard. London Guardian, United Kingdom. 24 February 2010.
IVF may raise risk of diabetes, hypertension and cancer in later life. While IVF is generally considered to produce healthy babies, doctors have identified subtle genetic changes that may raise the risk of particular medical conditions in later life. London Guardian, United Kingdom. 23 February 2010.
Obesity tied to poorer sperm quality. Adding to evidence that obesity may affect a man's sperm quality, a new study finds that obese men tend to have less-mobile sperm than their thinner counterparts. Reuters Health. 18 February 2010.
Men who are exposed to benzene at levels close to the U.S. permissible limit are more likely to have an abnormal number of chromosomes in their sperm, according to new research. Having the wrong number of chromosomes in sperm or eggs is the largest known source of miscarriage in people. 16 February 2010. More...
A study of professional pesticide applicators suggests that exposure to the insecticide coumaphos may increase their risk of prostate cancer if they had a family history of the disease. The insecticide coumaphos, an organophosphate compound, is primarily used to control pests on beef and dairy cattle. Though unlikely, exposure to the general population may occur when eating food products from coumaphos-treated animals, such as meat or milk. 15 February 2010. More...
Underactive thyroid linked to pesticide exposure.
Exposure to certain types of pesticides could up the risk of thyroid
disease in women, according to a new study of thousands of women
married to licensed pesticide applicators. Reuters. 13 February 2010.
Blood pressure, "rich" blood affect baby's growth. Women with high blood pressure and blood overly rich in red blood cells are more likely to give birth to babies who are too small or born too early, researchers in the Netherlands reported on Tuesday. Reuters Health. 11 February 2010.
Chinese girl, 9, becomes one of world's youngest mothers. In the western world children are reaching puberty at younger and younger ages - some girls at the age of seven. Many blame rising obesity rates. London Daily Mail, United Kingdom. 9 February 2010.
Heavier boys more likely to hit puberty later. Overweight boys may start puberty later than their leaner peers, new research shows. In girls, the opposite is true: Being heavy increases the likelihood that a girl will start puberty early. Reuters Health. 9 February 2010.
New research suggests that exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) during gestation and lactation lowers male fertility in adulthood and that the effect may persist for at least three generations. The rat study tested relatively low levels of BPA chosen to fall within the range of human exposure. It is the first to indicate that BPA might have transgenerational effects on male reproductive health. 9 February 2010. More...

Genes in mother, baby raise risk of preterm birth. Genes in the mother and the fetus play a role in the risk of preterm labor, a leading cause of infant death and disability, U.S. government researchers said on Thursday. Reuters Health. 5 February 2010.
As one class of flame retardants is phased out due to health concerns, new types - sometimes with widespread exposure and unknown effects - may be phased in. A new study examining one type of potential replacement chemicals called organophosphorous flame retardants finds that men exposed through house dust had lower thyroid hormone levels and reduced sperm concentration. This is one of the first human studies to look at potential health effects of exposure to these types of flame retardants. 5 February 2010. More...
America pushes to overhaul chemical safety law. When it comes to commercial chemicals, the presumption of innocence may be coming to an end. The Toxic Substances Control Act allows the US EPA to test chemicals that pose a health risk - but only when it has evidence of harm. Nature. 4 February 2010.

Or your stereo or carpet or any of the things in your house that contain common flame-retardant chemicals known as PBDEs that a new study suggests may be associated with decreased fertility. Reuters Health. 4 February 2010.
ACS introduces new policy statement. The American Chemical Society has issued a new official policy statement that calls for more research and education on endocrine disruption. Chemical & Engineering News. 2 February 2010.
Childhood asthma in premature babies linked pregnancy bug. A common complication during pregnancy may predispose children born prematurely to asthma, a large study reports today. USA Today. 2 February 2010.
Exposure to very low concentrations of the plastic monomer bisphenol A (BPA) causes cellular damage and death in cultured human placenta cells, researchers report. The doses used for this study are similar to blood levels found in pregnant women. Particularly concerning was the observation that that effects were most pronounced at the lowest - rather than the highest - concentrations of BPA. 2 February 2010. More...
Women who were fed soy-based infant formula as babies are 25 percent more likely to develop uterine fibroids than those who were breastfed or given milk-based formula. Fibroids affect about a quarter of all women and are the leading cause of hysterectomy. This is the first study to examine whether exposure to soy estrogens early in life is associated with fibroids development later in life. 1 February 2010. More...
Chemical pollution and fertility: Flame wars. Over the last 30 years flame-retardant chemicals known as polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have been widely used, although little is known about their broader effects. New research implicates PDBEs in reductions in human fertility. Economist. 28 January 2010.
A study conducted in Massachusetts suggests that exposure to perchloroethylene through drinking water may be associated with an increased risk for certain congenital anomalies, but the results are not entirely conclusive. Women whose estimated PCE exposure was higher may have a 50 percent increased risk of birth defects. Women ever exposed to PCE also had a 3-fold increased risk of giving birth to babies with neural tube defects or oral clefts. 28 January 2010. More...
