Electromagnetic radiations on the functional potential of spermatozoa
Abstract
Overview
The study examines the effects of radio frequency-electromagnetic radiations (RF-EMF) from common digital devices like laptops and Wi-Fi on sperm functionality. This research highlights significant concerns due to the increase in digital device usage without adequate safety measures, even among very young children.
Findings
- Experimental studies used Wi-Fi enabled laptops exposed to live spermatozoa.
- Results showed a decrease in sperm activity and an increase in mortality based on duration and proximity to the EMF source.
- After 5 hours of RF-EMF exposure, sperm vitality decreased significantly at distances as close as 1cm.
Conclusion
The research suggests that prolonged exposure to RF-EMF from laptops can impair sperm functions, potentially leading to fertility issues. It underscores the importance of using digital devices with caution to prevent adverse reproductive outcomes.
