ID Number		1518
Study Type		Human / Provocation
Model		900 MHz mobile phone exposure and analysis of sperm quality and motility
Details		Male volunteers (n = 52) were evaluated for sperm number, quality, and motility under various conditions. Of relevance to RF bioeffects, the authors reported that storage of mobile phones in their hip pocket or on their belt (close to the testes) had significantly lower sperm motility (49.3 +/- 8.2%) than men who did not carry a mobile phone or who carried their mobile phone elsewhere on the body (55.4 +/- 7.4%).
