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.
