Abstract

Overview

The research emphasizes the deleterious effects of radio frequency-electromagnetic radiations (RF-EMF) emitted by digital devices like mobile phones, laptops, and Wi-Fi. The focus is on the reproductive health implications due to these radiations.

Findings

  • This experimental study utilized live spermatozoa and an active Wi-Fi network laptop to simulate real-life exposure scenarios.
  • Significant reduction in sperm activity and increased mortality were observed, which correlated directly with both exposure duration and proximity to EMF sources.
  • Notably, the vitality of sperm decreased dramatically with increased exposure time and closer proximity to the source of RF-EMF.
  • For instance, after 2 hours of exposure at a distance of 1cm, sperm vitality reduced by 35%, and at 10cm, the reduction was 40%.

Conclusion

The study strongly underscores the adverse effects of RF-EMF on sperm vitality. It highlights crucial health concerns associated with the unchecked use of EMF-emitting devices.
