Medical Appeals and Recommendations to Reduce Exposure
“Keep your cell phone out of your pants pocket – even if you have a Bluetooth in your ear. Studies conducted at Cleveland Clinic have shown that the radio frequency electromagnetic waves emitted by cell phones may increase oxidative stress and decrease sperm motility, contributing to decreased fertility.”
