Highlights: • Seminal plasma UV filters were negatively associated with sperm motility. • Seminal plasma phthalate diesters were associated with diminished semen quality. • Seminal plasma parabens were associated with enhanced semen quality. • Seminal plasma mBP and mBzP findings corroborated urinary biomarker associations. • Seminal BP-2 findings corroborated urinary BP-2 associations with semen parameters. Some non-persistent endocrine disruptors (EDCs) are adversely associated with semen quality and few studies have measured those EDCs in seminal plasma.
