Laptop Wi-Fi users 'kill sperm'

A small study recently concluded that using Wi-Fi can damage sperm and reduce fertility in men. The reason is that electromagnetic waves from the wireless connection was born.

The experts took semen samples from 29 healthy men and put them under the laptop to use Wi-Fi Internet connection.

After 4 hours, semen samples are affected: 25% and 9% are inactivated DNA damage. The semen samples near the laptop to work, but no Wi-Fi connection is less than the damage, and similar patterns are stored elsewhere.

"Our data shows that the use of laptops and wireless networking to close male genitalia may reduce sperm quality of men," the authors write. However, they also note that this result is not necessarily the case with all other wireless devices, or other conditions affect sperm quality.

This finding has raised fears for millions of men are worn Wi-Fi devices in bags, pockets and close the pocket.

Some previous studies also found that environmental factors can decrease sperm density below the threshold necessary.

A study published earlier this month also showed that the heat generated when you place your laptop on your knees enough to increase the testicular temperature to dangerous levels, may damage sperm, even if only in 10 -15 minutes.

Some scientists said they did not believe the use of laptop would make men sterile. But in this case, consider using desktop computers.
