The exposure of male mice to radiofrequency radiations from mobile phone (GSM) base stations at a workplace complex and residential quarters caused 39.78 and 46.03%, respectively, in sperm head abnormalities compared to 2.13% in control group. Statistical analysis of sperm head abnormality score showed that there was a significant (p < 0.05) difference in occurrence of sperm head abnormalities in test animals. The major abnormalities observed were knobbed hook, pin-head and banana-shaped sperm head. The occurrence of the sperm head abnormalities was also found to be dose dependent. The implications of the observed increase occurrence of sperm head abnormalities on the reproductive health of humans living in close proximity to GSM base stations were discussed.

SGR's concerns about the power of commercial interests within science and technology have led us to compile an in-depth report - Science and the Corporate Agenda - which assesses the scale of the problems and makes innovative recommendations for solutions.

Research bias, distorted research agendas, covert funding of science communication, conflicts of interest, lack of openness etc.

...tax-payer funded research is now less likely to work in the broader public interest. These findings are based on extensive evidence across five sectors: pharmaceuticals, oil and gas, military/defence, biotechnology and tobacco. Govt. Policy on research funding has led to a worsening of all of these problems.
