The University of Rochester team's latest work adds to concerns about the safety of phthalates, found in vinyl flooring and PVC shower curtains.

The findings are reported in the International Journal of Andrology.

It's been discussed here lately that plastics which cause estrogenization in boys may also be a contributing factor to some cases of homosexuality. This world is toxic so in that sense, it wouldn't surprise me in the least!
