Study links cell phone use and infertility in men

Tuesday, October 24, 2006

A new study shows a disturbing link between cell phone use and infertility in men.

The study conducted by researchers at the Reproductive Research Center at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio found that men who used their cell phones for more than four hours a day had a 25-percent lower sperm count than men who never used a cell phone.

The findings were presented at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine annual meeting in New Orleans.
