It has previously been claimed that Radio-frequency electromagnetic radiation (RF-EMR) emitted by devices such as mobile phones can have a negative affect on male fertility. This new research, which has been conducted by the University of Exeter, looked at 10 different studies, including 1,492 samples, to try and unravel the role of radiation exposure.
Participants in the studies were from fertility clinics and research centres, and sperm quality was measured in three different ways: motility (the ability of sperm to move properly towards an egg), viability (the proportion of sperm that were alive) and concentration (the number of sperm per unit of semen).
According to the team behind the study, in control groups, 50-85% of sperm have normal movement, but this fell by an average of 8% when there was exposure to mobile phones. A similar effect was found for sperm viability, but the effects on sperm concentration were more unclear.
Discussing the findings, Dr Fiona Mathews, of Biosciences at the University of Exeter, said: "Given the enormous scale of mobile phone use around the world, the potential role of this environmental exposure needs to be clarified.
"This study strongly suggests that being exposed to radio-frequency electromagnetic radiation from carrying mobiles in trouser pockets negatively affects sperm quality. This could be particularly important for men already on the borderline of infertility, and further research is required to determine the full clinical implications for the general population."

Mobile Phones 'Affect Male Fertility'
