Is male fertility influenced by mobile electromagnetic emissions?
At the end of the 20th century there were some suspicions that the number of sperm cells might be reduced as a result of exposure to the electromagnetic fields generated by the electrical power grid, but such suspicions have been refuted by subsequent research. The subject re-appeared in the public’s attention in 2004, when the media presented a Hungarian study which was supposed to prove a link between mobile usage and lower sperm quality. The experts who evaluated it did not believe that the way in which the link was established was scientifically correct. There are other factors known to affect male fertility, such as pollution or heat, and such a study must be carried out under very strict laboratory conditions in order to correctly determine the cause.
