A new review concludes that cellphone radiation damages sperm. Not only is total sperm count lowered with greater exposure to cellphones and laptops. In addition, wireless radiation from these devices can impair the shape, size and speed of sperm, all of which affect the chance of producing healthy offspring.

Mobile and Cordless Phone Radiation Alters Brain Proteins

May be key to cancer and dementia

EHT collaborators Adamantia F. Fragopoulou and Lukas H. Margaritis of the University of Athens have produced a new peer-reviewed report detailing the impact of cell phone and cordless phone base radiation on key proteins in the brain. Their study published on-line in the Journal Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine builds upon work presented to the EHT Istanbul Conference on Cell Phones and Health in May, 2010 and other reports that cellphone radiation significantly alters key brain proteins. The new study, “Brain proteome response following whole body exposure of mice to mobile phone or wireless DECT base radiation”, published early online, reported significant changes in the brains of living rodents exposed for 8 months to cell and cordless phone signals for 3 hours and 8 hours per day. One of the altered brain proteins in exposed rodents, Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein, is also affected in people with some types of brain cancer.

Using an innovative method to analyze variations in brain chemistry affected by cellphone and cordless phone radiation, the authors detected significant impacts on more than 100 different proteins in areas of the brain central to thinking, memory and learning.
