Study Type In Vivo
Model 850 and 1900 MHz exposure to rats and analysis of sperm cells and reproductive ability
Details

Sprague Dawley rats were exposed to 850 or 1900 MHz RF for 6 hours per day for 18 weeks at estimated SARs of 1.8 W/kg (AMPS), 0.9 W/kg (GSM 850 MHz) and 1.18 W/kg (GSM 1900 MHz), using mobile phones as exposure devices. The authors report exposure resulted in changes in sperm cell viability (60% increase in death) and abnormal clumping. The authors suggest carrying mobile phones near reproductive organs could negatively affect male fertility.
