Essay / Can electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones affect...
Over the past decade, mobile phones have developed and progressed very quickly. Not only has their technology increased, but the number of people using them has also skyrocketed and the importance of cell phones has become greater than ever all over the world. However, growing concern about their possible adverse effects on human health has emerged, leading to numerous scientific activities to resolve this dilemma (Erogul et al., 2006, p. 840). A possible health effect of electromagnetic radiation from cell phones is male infertility. Approximately 15% of couples experience infertility, approximately half of which results from male infertility (Ferguson, 2012, para. 3; Agarwal et al., 2008, p. 124). Infertility is usually a permanent disability, in many cases it is something that cannot be cured. This is why it's so intimidating for people, many fall into depression when they find out they are the reason they don't have children. Many male cell phone users have no idea of the damage caused by mobile radiation and, given that cell phones are so central to most people's daily lives, they will cause enormous damage. The continued growth in mobile phone usage and as it becomes more and more essential in our lives, the more it will influence the already high rate of infertility worldwide. Coincidentally, the place where cell phones sit the most is in the pocket, which is right next to the groin. This means that the damage caused is maximized by being very close to where the sperm is produced and stored. To explore the link between electromagnetic radiation from cell phones and sperm quality, this essay will critically evaluate a selection of literature addressing the causes o...... middle of article ......docs/ agradoc301.pdfEMF Safety Network.
