View Original AbstractHigher intensity cell phone radiation impaired sperm movement in lab tests, while typical phone exposure levels showed no immediate effects.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed human sperm samples to cell phone radiation at two different intensities to see if it affected sperm health and movement. They found no effects at the lower intensity (similar to normal phone use), but at the higher intensity, sperm swimming patterns became impaired over time. This suggests that stronger EMF exposures may harm male fertility, though typical phone use levels showed no immediate damage.
Study Details
The aim of this study is to investigate In vitro effect of pulsed 900 MHz GSM radiation on mitochondrial membrane potential and motility of human spermatozoa
Ejaculated, density purified, human spermatozoa were exposed to pulsed 900 MHz GSM mobile phone radi...
There was no effect of pulsed 900 MHz GSM radiation on mitochondrial membrane potential. This was al...
This result should not be ascribed to thermal effects, due to the cooling methods employed in the RF chamber and temperature control within the incubato
