OTTAWA - Researchers are pointing to shampoo as a possible factor in
the apparent decline of sperm quality in many countries.
The theory is getting international attention and even skeptics agree
it should be investigated.
Scandinavian researchers say chemicals known as alkyl-phenol
ethoxylades, used in shampoos and other products, can act like the
female sex-hormone estrogen.
Boys exposed to such chemicals before puberty could suffer disruption
of their hormonal processes, said Jorma Toppari of the University of
Turku in Finland.
"We know that these compounds are hormonally active, and we know
that you can influence sperm counts by exposing a child or a fetus to
hormones that act like these compounds," he told a conference on
Great Lakes water quality in Duluth, Minn.
Studies show sperm counts in several countries have declined
dramatically in the past 30 to 50 years. Researchers have focused on
pesticides, dioxins and organic chlorines. The suspicion over
alkyl-phenol ethoxylades is new.

Shampoo linked to decline in sperm quality
OTTAWA (CP) -- Researchers are pointing to shampoo as a possible
factor in the apparent decline of sperm quality in many countries.
The theory is highly controversial, but it is getting international
attention and even skeptics agree it should be investigated.
Scandinavian researchers say chemical known as alkyl-phenol
ethoxylades, commonly used in shampoos and other products, can act like
the female sex-hormone estrogen.
Boys exposed to such chemicals before puberty could suffer disruption
of their hormonal processes, said Jorma Toppari of the University of
Turku in Finland
"These are the compounds we really should look at," Toppari,
leading expert on male reproductive health, said. "We know that
these compounds are hormonally active and we know that you can influence
sperm counts by exposing a child or a fetus to hormones that act like
these com-pounds." Toppari spoke at a conference on Great Lakes
water quality held this week at Duluth, Minn.
Research interest in male reproductive health has exploded following
studies indicating that sperm counts in several countries have declined
dramatically in the past 30- 50 years.
In 1992, Danish researchers, drawing on existing scientific
literature, reported a decrease in sperm concentration and semen volume
in otherwise normal men over the period 1938-90.
The Danish study initially met skepticism, but researchers in France,
Scotland and Belgium have obtained similar results.
