Men may want to limit their cell phone use if they are concerned about fertility, according to a recent metanalysis published this past November in Environmental Research, which found the radiofrequency electromagnetic waves emitted by cell phones decrease sperm quality by reducing their motility, viability, and concentration. ”Male cell-phone users should strive to reduce mobile phone use to protect their sperm quality,” said Yun Hak Kim, lead researcher and an assistant professor at Pusan National University. Previous research has shown cell phones emit RF-EMWs that can be absorbed by the human body to result in potential adverse side effects on the brain, heart and reproductive function, according to the study.
