Effect of cell phone usage on semen analysis in men attending infertility clinic
an observational study
Fertil Steril. 2007 May 3; [Epub ahead of print]
Agarwal A, Deepinder F, Sharma RK, Ranga G, Li J.
Reproductive Research Center, Glickman Urological Institute and Department of Obstetrics-Gynecology, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, Ohio.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of cell phone use on various markers of semen quality.
DESIGN: Observational study.
SETTING: Infertility clinic.
PATIENT(S): Three hundred sixty-one men undergoing infertility evaluation were divided into four groups according to their active cell phone use: group A: no use; group B: <2 h/day; group C: 2-4 h/day; and group D: >4 h/day.
INTERVENTION(S): None.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Sperm parameters (volume, liquefaction time, pH, viscosity, sperm count, motility, viability, and morphology).
RESULT(S): The comparisons of mean sperm count, motility, viability, and normal morphology among four different cell phone user groups were statistically significant. Mean sperm motility, viability, and normal morphology were significantly different in cell phone user groups within two sperm count groups. The laboratory values of the above four sperm parameters decreased in all four cell phone user groups as the duration of daily exposure to cell phones increased.
CONCLUSION(S): Use of cell phones decrease the semen quality in men by decreasing the sperm count, motility, viability, and normal morphology. The decrease in sperm parameters was dependent on the duration of daily exposure to cell phones and independent of the initial semen quality.

Oprah and Dr. Carlo: Cell Phones and Your Health
Oprah & Friends Radio
Cell Phones and Your Health
Original Air Date: May 10, 2007
Most of us probably use a cell phone at least once a day, but have you ever stopped to wonder how your phone affects your health? As the number of cell phone users continues to rise, some scientists are examining the effects of the phones on our health and environment. Dr. Oz talks with Dr. George Carlo of the Science and Public Policy Institute about some health problems cell phones may cause.
While there are differing opinions about the harmful effects of cell phones, Dr. Carlo says he feels quite strongly that the information-carrying radio waves that cell phones use are causing serious health problems. He says that the waves from cell phones are different from the other waves we encounter in the electromagnetic spectrum because they don't exist anywhere in nature. These waves are interpreted as foreign invaders by our biological tissues, causing the cell membranes to work to protect the cells. When intercellular communication is interrupted, Dr. Carlo says, it can lead to many problems, from learning disabilities to Alzheimer's disease to tumor development.
Because there are literally billions of cell phone users today, Dr. Carlo says there is an unprecedented increase in potentially dangerous exposure to information-carrying radio waves. Five years ago, he says he was concerned with the phone itself for its concentration of radio waves, but today, especially in large cities, the background level of those waves is the same concentration that once showed up around the phones. So how can you protect yourself? Dr. Carlo offers the following advice:
* Use a headset or speakerphone whenever possible to keep the phone out of direct contact with your body.
* Check to see if your phone has any type of noise-field technology, and if so, use it.
* Keep your phone usage to a minimum, and turn your phone off when not in use.

Gesundheit von Säugetieren durch Mikrowellenstrahlung bereits bei Werten um 0,2 Mikrowatt/Quadratmeter ernsthaft gefährdet
Amerikanische Umweltwissenschaftlerin Lundquist:
Gesundheit von Säugetieren durch Mikrowellenstrahlung bereits bei Werten um 0,2 Mikrowatt/Quadratmeter ernsthaft gefährdet
Nach Aussagen der amerikanischen Wissenschaftlerin Marjorie Lundquist, Teilnehmerin und Referentin beim BEMS-Meeting in Quebec City im Juni 2002, ist die Gesundheit von Säugetieren bei chronischer Exposition durch Mikrowellenstrahlung bereits bei Werten um 0,2 Mikrowatt/Quadratmeter ernsthaft gefährdet. Dieser Wert liegt um den Faktor 50 Millionen unter dem Grenzwert für UMTS, um den Faktor 45 Millionen unter dem Grenzwert für das E-Netz und um den Faktor 22,5 Millionen unter dem Grenzwert für das D-Netz, jeweils bezogen auf die Grenzwerte der ICNIRP (Leistungsflußdichte), die in den meisten Ländern gesetzlich gültig sind. Marjorie Lundquist ist Umweltwissenschaftlerin und Expertin für Bioelektromagnetismus und geißelt die Grenzwerte der ICNIRP als viel zu hoch und unverantwortbar.
Lundquist hat hierzu bereits eine Studie bei der American Physical Society vorgelegt, in der sie ihre vorläufigen Ergebnisse präsentiert (der Abstrakt der Studie ist in der März-Ausgabe des Bulletins der American Physical Society nachlesbar). Die Wissenschaftlerin setzt ihre Studie derzeit fort und erwartet bald weitere Ergebnisse.
Ihre Felduntersuchungen zeigen, dass die Gesundheit von Säugetieren durch Mikrowellenexposition bereits bei Werten im Bereich von 20 Pikowatt/Quadratzentimeter (umgerechnet: 0,2 Mikrowatt/Quadratmeter) ernsthaft gefährdet ist.
Lundquist weist darauf hin, dass die ICNIRP-Werte nur vor thermischen Wirkungen schützen. Sie böten dadurch keinerlei Gesundheitsschutz. Die Grenzwerte seien völlig inadequat und ihre Grundlage enthalte zahlreiche wissenschaftliche Fehler.
Nach Meinung von Lundquist seien die ICNIRP-Grenzwerte lediglich dazu da, Mobilfunkbetreiberfirmen zu schützen, damit Geschädigte keine rechtliche Möglichkeit haben, Schadensersatzklagen für erlittene Gesundheitsschäden zu gewinnen.
Lundquist hatte ausserdem im im vorigen Jahr die Repacholi-Studie sowie eine weitere Studie des US-Militärs aus den 80er Jahren geprüft und bewertet (Nagetiere wurden im Langzeitversuch gepulster Mikrowellenstrahlung ausgesetzt, im Ergebnis kam es zu deutlich erhöhten Krebsraten bei den bestrahlten Tieren.
Die Bewertung von Lundquist:
“My conclusion is that both these experiments actually demonstrate that microwave radiation is capable of being carcinogenic to living tissue, under conditions of chronic irradiation at comparatively low radiation intensity.” (Meine Schlußfolgerung ist, dass beide Experimente beweisen, dass Mikrowellenstrahlung auf lebendes Gewebe karzinogen [krebserzeugend] wirken kann, bei chronischer Dauerbestrahlung sogar bei vergleichsweise niedrigen Strahlenlevels.” Weiteres hierzu hier.
Hier die Original-Nachricht von Dr. Majorie Lundquist:
“There is a problem with making any RF radiation voluntary consensus health protection standard a law. The problem is that some parts of these standards are NOT consistent with Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism!
To put it very plainly, the existing voluntary consensus standards that claim to protect human health against radio-frequency and microwave radiation are a mixture of scientific truth and scientific error. They are adequate to protect human health in some ways, but inadequate in other ways.
I have already presented a paper before the American Physical Society in which I presented my initial findings. [The abstract has been published in the March, 2003, issue of the BULLETIN OF THE AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY.] I am continuing my research and expect to be able to provide more details in future, when my research is further advanced.
My field investigations suggest that there is a serious hazard to mammalian health somewhere in the vicinity of 20 picowatts/sq. cm. for microwave radiation under the plane-wave approximation.
Existing voluntary consensus standards are adequate to protect against THERMAL hazards from PLANE WAVE exposure. The inadequacies arise when the exposure is to other than a plane wave, or when nonthermal health effects (such as cancer) are of concern.
Giving an existing voluntary consensus standard the force of law will not do much to protect human health, given the inadequacies of these standards, and the scientific errors they embody at this time. All that it will accomplish, in my judgment, is to protect the companies whose transmitters are making the environment dangerous for human health, so that members of the public will have no legal recourse to recover payment for the damage done to their health!
It should be remembered that the original voluntary consensus standard, ANSI C95, is sponsored by the electrical engineering profession, which is NOT a health profession!
Other voluntary consensus standards that have tried to improve upon ANSI C95 have nevertheless accepted its scientifically flawed assumptions, and therefore also contain similar scientific errors.
In other words, making the ICNIRP standard law will NOT protect the public; it will protect the harmful transmitters and the companies that have put them there! – Marjorie

Kommentar des Elektrosmognews-Team: Man kann nur hoffen, dass sich Frau Dr. Lundquist in der Größenordnung irrt. Sollte sie recht behalten, wäre das eine Katastrophe für die Menschheit, denn Werte von 0,2 Mikrowatt pro Quadratmeter sind mittlerweile fast flächendeckend überall anzutreffen.
