Re: Human semen quality in the new millennium: A prospective cross-sectional population-based study of 4867 men

摘要

In this prospective study by Avendano et al, the authors attempted to evaluate the effect of radio frequency electromagnetic waves (RF-EMW) generated by laptop computers with wireless network connections (Wi-Fi). They used an in vitro model in which each of 29 donor semen samples was processed and aliquoted into two fractions to form control and experimental groups. The experimental group was then incubated underneath an active Wi-Fi-connected laptop for a duration of 4 h at a temperature of 25 °C, as maintained by an air conditioning system. The control group was incubated under reportedly identical conditions, excluding the presence of any electronic devices.
