NEW YORK – which is a cell phone in your Pocket? If you plan
to have children, you can delete it. Sharon Begley on the
possible link between mobile phones and infertility.
When the news broke this week that the World Health
Organization had said cellular phones a possible cancer
risk, chatty people everywhere suddenly found disturbing
brain tumor behind the ears. But concerns about how cell
phones affect the human body are hidden below the belt, as
well. For men, in any event, that area where phones spend
most of their time – in your Pocket – may also be at risk.
No studies have linked to use of cell phones to cancer of
the testis. Sterility, however, is another question.
Experiences or not radiofrequency radiation emitted by cell
damage (even when the phone is turned off) semen has been
made since at least 2003, when a study in rats found “no
evidence suggesting an adverse effect of phone cell exposure
on…testicular function or structure. Another study of rat
two years later was also reassuring, concluding that the
radiation “” issued by a conventional cell phone does not
affect testicular function in adult rats. “”
Unfortunately, these studies have not had the last word. A
significant study of 2005 mice than “an on…spermatozoa
genotoxic effect [DNA damaging].”
A 2007 rat study found “much higher incidence of sperm cell
death,” suggesting “that carrying cell phones about
reproductive organs could affect male fertility.”. And a
2009 rat study concluded that radiation from cell phones
“negatively affects the quality of the sperm and may impair
male fertility.”
Of course, these are just of laboratory animals. Certainly,
the human male is made things tougher, so that a small
telephone cellular radiation is no more prejudicial to her
family jewels than, say, pollen?
It is sad to say, this cannot be the case. In a study
planned for publication in the journal Andrologia, but
published online in March, researchers at the Medical
University of Graz in Austria reported bad news. They
examined the records of the 2,110 men treated at the clinic
of fertility of the University from 1993 to 2007.
Remarkably, these men 1,119 not phones use cellular (mainly
first years, is not surprising.) That allowed researchers to
compare users to non-users. Results: among users, an average
of 68 per cent of the sperm had “a pathological morphology,”
such as the stack, compared to 58 per cent in non-users or
aberrant. (If the percentage of 58 seems high, remember that
these men had all went to a fertility clinic.) “Our results
showed that the use of cell phones negatively affects the
quality of the semen of men,” the researchers conclude.
68 per cent of the sperm had “a pathological morphology,”
such as the stack or aberrant.
It is not the first such findings. In his 2010 book of
disconnection: the truth about phone cell radiation, that
the industry has made to hide it and how to protect your
family, will have to Davis tells the story of a couple who
could not imagine. A doctor told them to keep their cell
phones off the coast of their body and to use only the text
or with a helmet cord for two months. Less than a year, they
had a baby.
Of course, anecdotes are not data, and you could probably
find a previously infertile couple who designed after the
jump on their right feet for 10 minutes every night for a
month. Coincidences happen. But in this case, the story
Davis argues, jibes with research. In 2008, for example,
scientists led by Ashok Agarwal, Director of research at the
Center for Reproductive Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic,
announced the results of a study on 361 men treated at a
fertility clinic. About 10% rarely or never used a cell
phone, while slightly more than half were on their cell more
than two hours a day. Using a cell phone, the scientists
concluded, “decrease [s] the quality of the semen of men by
decreasing the number of sperm, motility, viability and
normal morphology.” Or, less formally, as Agarwal “sperm
quality tended to decline as daily of phone cell increased
use.” The men who said they used their phones for more than
four hours a day had the lowest average sperm count and
motility and normal lower numbers of viable sperm. ?
The Agarwal team wanted to see if the link between the use
of the cell and sperm wimpy was just a coincidence. They
took the sperm of a few dozens of men and return to the lab
kept half of each sample of radiation from cell phones and
the other one-half inch away a cell phone. (One inch is on
the distance between the man and his testes trouser pocket).
Sperm nearby phones cell were the worst swimmers and had the
most deformities.
Now for the third warning. Swimmers even poor people can
become fathers, and questions remain on the question of
whether the damage to sperm among cell phone users is
serious enough to cause infertility. “When it comes to study
if cell phones impact on… human reproduction,”Davis argues,
“we are in the midst of another vast uncontrolled experiment
on ourselves.” “”.
Men who do not want to jeopardize their prospects of
paternity may take the same precautions as cell phone users
who want to reduce their risk of developing cancer of the
brain. Choose a model with the lowest value of SAR, a
measure of radiation absorbed by biological tissues, as at
the end of this history. And do not hold your phone in your
pocket of pants.
