Radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation (RF-EMR) from various sources may impact health due to the generation of frequency bands. Broad pulses emitted within frequency bands can be absorbed by cells, influencing their function. Numerous laboratory studies have demonstrated that mobile phones-generally the most widely used devices-can have harmful effects on sex cells, such as sperm and oocytes, by producing RF-EMR. Moreover, some research has indicated that RF-EMR generated by mobile phones can influence sperm parameters, including motility, morphology, viability, and (most critically) DNA structure. Consequently, RF-EMR can disrupt both sperm function and fertilization. However, other studies have reported that exposure of spermatozoa to RF-EMR does not affect the functional parameters or genetic structure of sperm. These conflicting results likely stem from differences among studies in the duration and exposure distance, as well as the species of animal used. This report was undertaken to review the existing research discussing the effects of RF-EMR on the DNA integrity of mammalian spermatozoa.
来自各种来源的射频电磁辐射(RF-EMR)可能由于频段的产生而影响健康。频段内发出的宽脉冲可被细胞吸收,影响其功能。大量实验室研究表明,手机——通常是使用最广泛的设备——通过产生射频电磁辐射,可能对生殖细胞,如精子和卵母细胞产生有害影响。此外,一些研究表明,手机产生的射频电磁辐射会影响精子参数,包括活力、形态、生存能力,以及(最关键的)DNA结构。因此,射频电磁辐射会破坏精子功能和受精过程。然而,其他研究报告称,精子暴露于射频电磁辐射下不会影响精子的功能参数或基因结构。这些相互矛盾的结果可能源于研究在持续时间、暴露距离以及所用动物种类上的差异。本报告旨在综述现有关于射频电磁辐射对哺乳动物精子DNA完整性影响的研究。
