Count Down, by epidemiologist Shanna Swan, explores the alarming decline in human fertility and sexuality due to modern environmental chemicals. Swan’s 2017 study revealed a 50% sperm level drop among Western men over four decades, with broader implications for sexual development in both genders and other species. The modern world is on track to become infertile.
The book investigates how and why this is happening, examining the impact of lifestyle and chemical exposures on fertility, sexual development, and overall health. Count Down offers practical guidelines for avoiding harmful chemicals in everyday products and discusses the global consequences of these threats. Described as “staggering” and “awakening,” this urgent book raises awareness about the dangers to our future generations.
