This article on Excite News claims that male sperm counts have been on a steady decline for several decades, and that both genetics and environmental factors could be contributing to a rising number of male infertility problems and testicular cancer.

"Hormone dirupters" may be found in--among other things--paint, pesticides, and detergents.
