One Major Reason for Infertility

The burning of waste in incinerators is doing more than simply making our air smell bad; it appears to be causing infertility.  Dioxins are chemicals that are released into the atmosphere by burning refuse.  These chemicals contain environmental hormones.  So, we are not only receiving hormone-mimicking substances in our food and water, but also in the very air we breathe.

Japan's air is saturated with these dioxins because it incinerates more waste than any other nation on earth.  The Japanese people also have the lowest sperm count and highest concentration of estrogen-mimicking chemicals in breast milk of any nation.  It's estimated that 57 out of 60 Japanese women undergo fertility treatments every year.

Dioxin affects cellular DNA.  It causes liver and kidney dysfunction.  It hinders endocrinological activity, thus causing potential widespread dysfunction in every endocrine gland.  This chemical interferes with the function of our autonomic nervous system and contributes to neurological defects such as cerebral palsy, mental retardation and learning disabilities.  Dioxin accumulates in fatty tissue, so fish like tuna are especially toxic.

Insisting that our government both retain its present air quality standards and increase the level of these standards, in the future, is something that we all need to consider encouraging our elected officials to persue.
