EMF Sex Axes: Men’s vs Women’s Exposure and Evidence
NTP male-rat heart schwannomas, male fertility literature volume, mostly null female breast ELF findings, and behavior-driven pocket vs purse exposure—not stereotype biology alone.

Birth Control in Tap Water and Male Fertility: Evidence Grade
Dose arithmetic makes finished-water EE2 an implausible primary driver of population low T or sperm decline. Grade ecological fish effects high; grade human DW→hypogonadism claims very low.

PFAS Male Endpoints: Testicular Cancer, Semen Quality, and Occupational Burden
C8 testicular cancer probable link, IARC PFOA Group 1, NASEM testicular assessment prompts, firefighter AFFF burden, and semen-parameter literature—without detox marketing.

Cell Phones and Male Fertility: Meta-Analyses vs WHO-Commissioned Reviews
Sperm-quality meta-analyses report associations with mobile-phone exposure, while a 2024 WHO-commissioned review finds little conclusive RF–male-fertility evidence. Here is how to read both.
