I would need to actually look at studies for this, but here's a news source for removing it from water:

Also, low testosterone is an issue that's plaguing men across continents-- and that includes areas that may not use this herbicide, and cultures where eating foods produced with it may not be culturally common. Look into phthalates though.

According to this site, it's not illegal in the EU.

There's also a correlation between low sperm count in Men, the transition of male to female amphibians and 17α-Ethinylestradiol (EE2- an estrogen) in our waters. EE2 is an active agent in most birth control pills and difficult to remove from our waters.

And to add to this, if you look at gay population centers in the USA along with an atrazine spill map, you'll find larger gay populations near atrazine spills.
