Is there something in earths water that could in the future cause men to become infertile?

Answer 1

It could happen. There have been consistent measurements of increasing drug levels in water cause from the passing of prescription, and illicit, drugs from humans and farmed animals into sewer plants and rivers. Already, mutations and infertility in water dwelling animals like frogs as a result of exposure to environmental high levels of man made drugs have been documented. No one is certain what the threshold levels necessary to affect humans might be. Certainly, a high level of estrogen in drinking water could have a deleterious effect on the fertility of women.

Answer 2

Not in all of earth's water, but in some local water supplies, absolutely yes. Rain water is pure distilled water, plus some very small impurity it picks up from the atmosphere as it falls. It stays quite safe in the vast majority of remote lakes, streams, and aquifers, picking up only inert minerals, mostly calcium. Some places have naturally high levels of mercury, but most of the problem comes from pollution caused or influenced by man.

Answer 3

Considering males are not currently infertile, I would say the obvious answer is no... nothing in the water makes men infertile.

Answer 4

No there is not, because if there was, all the men today would be infertile and the human race would have probably ended hundreds or thousands of years ago.

Answer 5

Men are losing their potency. There are numerous theories, but few real facts as to the cause. There is some evidence that the problem is worldp-wide and is occuring to male babies prior to birth. See the reference below for one example.
