I was much expecting a scary downhill line chart of how our sperms have been going down year after year in the past century. None was in the book. Numerically speaking, I could only find 1 paragraph describing WHO estimates of our sperm count threshold had been reduced.

What a difference a bit of editing could make.

In the tradition of Silent Spring and The Sixth Extinction, an urgent, meticulously researched, and groundbreaking book about the ways in which chemicals in the modern environment are changing—and endangering—human sexuality and fertility on the grandest scale, from renowned epidemiologist Shanna Swan. Extremely important intervention in a disturbing, saddeningly neglected public health crisis. The effects of endocrine disruptors on reproductive health, sexual development, sexual behavior, mental health, and beyond for both animal and human species are extensive, disturbing, and directly tied to the profit-seeking behavior of corporations (and government enablers). Countdown is a clarion call for greater public awareness of the effects these ubiquitous chemicals as well as stringent regulation and reduction of the environmental presence of these substances found in plastic and metal containers, cosmetics, hygiene products (e.g. deodorants), and beyond for the sake of human reproductive health. The author is an endocrinologist with decades of research experience, using her own studies as part of the body of support for her argument.
