What do these chemicals do to the sperm? These ever day household chemicals change how sperm swim. Sperm swim erratically and prematurely release enzymes that are needed to penetrate and fertilize the egg. Sperm counts are low and have fallen by 50 percent in the last 50 years. One German study found that 30 out of 96 common household chemicals affected the "catsper" protein that controls the sperm's ability to swim and ability to enter the egg for fertilization.

Protective government policies will take to long to enact.
