Cell Phone Radiation Damage of sperm cells

Kompas.com - voice ringing phone in your pocket could be a danger alarm for sperm cells. According to a study that found dangerous mobile phone radiation on sperm quality.

Some research has shown men mobile users have fewer sperm count, slower moving and damaged, compared with men who did not use the phone. But actually, the problem is the storage cell.

About two months ago researchers from South Africa found the man who brought his cell phone on your hip or in front pants pocket had sperm swim slower and also much less concentration. Both were very influential on a man's fertility.

Latest study on the effects of radiation conducted by researchers from Turkey to the subject of human sperm cells in the cup fed stained cell phone radiation exposure for one hour. Exposure causes the sperm to be abnormal, so that the difficulty reaching the egg.

"You should be aware the results of this research by a man who was still in the reproductive age and used to put a cell phone in his trouser pocket," says Joel Moskowitz, Ph.D., director of the University of California, Berkeley Center for familiy and Community Health.

Another study conducted on mice also gave alarming results. The researchers put the mice in special cages with mobile phones placed 2 inches from the bottom of the cage.

Once adjacent to the cell phone 6 hours every day for 18 weeks, the researchers found the percentage of live sperm decreased 25 percent, from 70 percent previously. Besides sperm cells the mice were also stuck together so it can not fertilize an egg.

Moskowitz said the results of this study have not yet reached a conclusion because the mechanism of radiation on the changes in sperm cells is unknown.

One theory says the phone will heat up when in use so that it will increase the temperature around the male genital organs when stored in a pants pocket.

Another hypothesis states that it is concerned with electromagnetic frequencies emitted by cell phones. Both the cell body or cell phones emit electromagnetic frequency and high frequency radiation will be absorbed into the body through a network thereby increasing the molecular motion in the cell body.
