EFFECTS OF RADIOFREQUENCY RADIATION FROM WIFI DEVICES ON HUMAN EJACULATED SEMEN

Abstract

This is an in-vitro pilot study which established the effect of radiofrequency radiation (RFR) from 2.4 GHz laptop antenna on human semen. Ten samples of the semen, collected from donors between the ages of 20 and 30 years were exposed when the source of the RFR was in active mode. Sequel to the exposure, both the exposed samples and another ten unexposed samples from same donors were analysed for sperm concentration, motility and morphology grading. A test of significance between results of these semen parameters using Mann-Whitney U- test at 0.05 level of significance showed a significant effect of RFR exposure on the semen parameters considered.
