Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Study Investigates Link Between Mobile-Phone Use and Male Infertility
Caption: Study Investigates Link Between Mobile Phone Use and Male Infertility. 'Newsweek' reports that modern life may be responsible for declining fertility around the world, including mobile phone use. "It has been shown that sperm concentration has been decreasing over the past 50 years in industrialized countries.", "It dropped from around 100 million sperm per milliliter to around 50 million sperm per milliliter.", Rita Rahban, a senior researcher at the University of Geneva, and her team studied the potential link between fertility and mobile phone use. The team's results were published in the journal 'Fertility and Sterility'. "We found that if men used their phones more often, the probability that they have lower sperm concentration is higher compared to men using it rarely.", 'Newsweek' reports that mobile phones emit low-frequency electromagnetic radiation, known as EMR. The team found that lower sperm counts were recorded at the beginning of the study, from 2005 to 2007, compared to the end of the study. "2G is less efficient than 4G in terms of data transfer speed, leading to an increase in exposure time and 2G is much less targeted, meaning one would be exposed to electromagnetic radiation even when they are not using their phones.", Rita Rahban, Senior researcher at the University of Geneva and Swiss Centre for Applied Human Toxicology, via 'Newsweek'. The World Health Organization (WHO) warns that an estimated one in six people will experience infertility in their lifetime. THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
