使用防晒霜导致精子数量下降

尼尔斯·乔根森(Niels Jorgensen)博士是哥本哈根Rigshospitalet医院里生殖与发育科的会诊医生。他说在厨房和浴室里发现了几千种会损害男性精子的化学物质。

“Modern life is having an impact because we are exposed to so many chemicals and we don’t know what they do, he said. Chemicals found in sun cream, cosmetics, frying pans, cars, foods and even in items of clothing could all increase risks to sperm, he suggested.

他说：“现代生活中充满化学物质，我们不知其危害，这是个非常大的影响。他还指出，防晒霜、化妆品、平底锅、汽车、食物甚至是衣物里的成分都可能含有对精子有害的化学成分。

His 15-year study of almost 5,000 Danish men, with an average age of 19, found that 15 percent had very poor quality sperm, which meant they were likely to need some sort of fertility help.

他对接近5000名丹麦男性进行了长达15年的研究，这些男性平均年龄19岁，其中15%的男性精子质量很差。这意味着他们或多或少需要助孕。

A further 27 percent could expect a prolonged wait to father children. Just 25 percent had good quality semen, while the remainder had a lower standard. Dr Jorgensen said there was growing evidence from animal studies to suggest that many chemicals disrupt and inhibit the production of testosterone. He expressed particular concern about lotions such as sunscreen.
