Science: Cellphone Use Cuts Sperm Count
United Press International
Hungarian researchers have found that men who regularly carry a cellphone may have their sperm count reduced by as much as 30 percent.
A team from Hungary's University of Szeged studied 221 men for 13 months and compared the sperm of those who used their cellphones heavily with those who didn't, the New York Post reported.
Men who carried a phone with them on stand-by throughout the day had significantly lower sperm concentration.
Their counts averaged 59.11 million sperm per milliliter of seminal fluid, compared with 82.97 million for men not continually exposed to cellphone radiation.
The researchers also found that sperm that does survive exposure to cellphone radiation shows abnormal movement, further reducing fertility.
Furthermore, men who made lengthy calls had slower-moving sperm.
