practical because it allows one to go online anywhere. But for men,
Wi-Fi have unexpected side effects that could damage the quality of sperm.
A study in Argentina showed, the quality of sperm exposed to Wi-Fi
signals tend to be worse than others. This effect was not found in the
sperm that are common around the Internet network, which is still using
a cable.
In research published in the journal Fertility and Sterility, the
scientists took sperm samples from 29 random men. Some are placed in a
room that has a Wi-Fi signal, partly kept out of the Internet network.
Once left for 4 hours, sperm samples are then examined and analyzed in
the laboratory. The scientists calculate the surviving sperm cells in
each semen sample, then compared the level of damage to the structure of
DNA (Droxyribo Nucleic Acid).
As many as 25 percent of sperm exposed to Wi-Fi signal is finally
dead, while the sperm is far from an internet connection only 14 percent
are dead. Likewise, the structure of DNA, 9 percent of sperm are exposed
to Wi-Fi is damaged or 3 times higher than that far from an internet
connection.
Conrado Avendano, scientists from Nascentis Medicina Reproductiva who
conducted the study explains that the cause is an electromagnetic wave.
Internet network without wires emit these waves, which then damage the
male sperm.
"Our research shows that computers are connected to the Internet
without wires can damage the sperm when placed close to the male
reproductive organs," Avendano said in its report as quoted by Reuters
on Tuesday (29/11/2011).
The relationship between the Internet network without wires with sperm
quality seems this newly studied. Various earlier studies linking more
damage to sperm with heat generated by the computer itself, so that men
are not encouraged to assume the laptop.
