Probably plastics and other long-lived chemicals in the environment, many of which can affect hormonal responses when they get inside the body.

https://www.mcrmfertility.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Glo... mentions "No clear etiologic factors have been identified; however, multiple factors have been shown to have correlative associations" then lists some possibilities:
* Increased obesity.
* Changes in diet, to have more fats.
* More people with chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension.
* Environmental toxins including bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, triclosan, and air pollutants.
* Tobacco, including "parental tobacco exposure in utero has been reported to affect male fertility in the offspring."
* Increased marijuana use ("though the field is under-researched")
* "Sedentary lifestyle, stress, and lack of sleep"
