View Original AbstractOne-hour cell phone radiation exposure showed no sperm damage, but longer real-world exposures may differ.
Plain English Summary
Researchers exposed human sperm samples to cell phone-like radio frequency radiation at 1950 MHz for one hour at levels of 2.0 or 6.0 watts per kilogram. They found no significant effects on sperm movement, speed, or DNA damage compared to unexposed samples. The study suggests that short-term exposure to this type of radiation under controlled temperature conditions does not harm sperm quality.
Study Details
The aim of the present study was to investigate Effects of 1950 MHz W-CDMA-like signal on human spermatozoa
we analyzed the effects on human spermatozoa (sperm motility and kinetic variables) induced by 1 h o...
No significant differences were observed between the EMW exposure and the sham exposure in sperm mot...
We conclude that W-CDMA-like exposure for 1 h under temperature-controlled conditions has no detectable effect on normal human spermatozoa. Differences in exposure conditions, humidity, temperature control, baseline sperm characteristics, and age of donors may explain inconsistency of our results with several previous studies
