Well, I am sure this is not healthy in any way, and the reduced sperm count is ominous, this connection hasn't been proven as far as I am aware. The connection is a correlation=causation thing. So take heart, there could be a totally separate bonus environmental poisoning that is causing the infertility!
If I remember it has to do with all of the human body's filtration organs being stuffed with microplastics and the chems it leeches into the body affects the endocrine system (The organs that help produce and regulate your hormone levels) negatively with both lower sperm cell count and a degradation of the quality of egg cells in addition to the fact that the interference in your hormonal regulation system starts fucking with a lot of stuff in your body.
I haven't heard of a link between microplastics and sperm counts, but BPA consumption and exposure is a noted risk. I think it degrades into an endocrine disrupter or something. turns the frogs gay and the like.
Matt had a rant about that a while back and it’s effect on people’s ability to have children
