View Original AbstractThis 12-week rat study found no sperm damage from cell phone radiation at 2.0 W/kg SAR, higher than typical phone use.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed male rats to cell phone radiation at 848.5 MHz for 12 weeks to study effects on sperm production and testicular health. They found no changes in sperm count, testicular tissue structure, or markers of cellular damage compared to unexposed rats. This suggests that exposure to this specific frequency and power level did not harm male reproductive function in rats.
Study Details
We examined the histological changes by radiofrequency (RF) fields on rat testis, specifically with respect to sensitive processes such as spermatogenesis.
Male rats were exposed to 848.5 MHz RF for 12 weeks. The RF exposure schedule consisted of two 45-mi...
we concluded that subchronic exposure to 848.5 MHz with 2.0 W/kg SAR RF did not have any observable adverse effects on rat spermatogenesis.
