Guardian Unlimited | The Guardian | Toxin in plastics harming unborn boys cites work done by Shanna Swan, Obstetrician at University of Rochester Medical Center. Thinking that these chemical had been in use for 50 years, their might be data supporting the conclusion and I looked up Shanna Swan. The URMC does not list anyone by that name on the faculty or staff. They do mention such a person as being part of a Nature program. There is a person by that name on the faculty of University of Missouri, Columbia who does research in that area. Professor Swan is a biostatitician, not obstetrician and has a very impressive CV.
The research is widely quoted and "Shanna Swan" is referred to as an obstetrician. She seems to be a mystery person unless it is Prof. Swan.
Never did find the data supporting the conclusions of an increase in male reproductive problems, or exactly where in a peer-reviewed journal this work was published.
I found the first link on Junk Science
