The Impact of Cell Phone, Laptop Computer, and Microwave Oven Usage on Male Fertility

Cell phones, laptop computers, and microwave ovens have become a vital part of modern life. All three of these technological fields use electromagnetic waves (EMWs) within a frequency range known as microwaves. Current literature on EMW radiation effects on male reproductive health remains controversial with mixed and inconclusive data. This may prove most important in subfertile men using laptops placed in their laps, in men with cell phone use and storage on either the hip or in a pants pocket, and men standing in close proximity to active microwave ovens.
