Many men like to put their laptops on their thighs, but they don't realize that this way of surfing the internet can kill their own sperm. Let's see how harmful this can be.
A research institute in Nanjing conducted a grouping experiment on 48 rats. The experimental rats were divided into 6 groups, with 8 rats in each group. Radiation experiments were conducted on the rats at 2 hours per day and 4 hours per day, respectively. Eight rats were kept in transparent cages placed on notebooks, just above the keyboard.
During the experiment, researchers found that electromagnetic radiation has a potential damaging effect on the reproductive function of male mice. The degree of sperm damage is proportional to the time spent using a laptop. Sperm damage in rats exposed to radiation for 4 hours a day is more severe than in rats exposed to radiation for 2 hours a day.
These damages are all ultrastructural damages, that is, the sperm appearance is fine, but the internal structure has been damaged. Experts have found that electromagnetic radiation can even damage sperm membranes. Lipoprotein and glycoprotein on the surface of sperm membrane are the main substances for realizing sperm function.
In addition, the longer the radiation time of the notebook, the greater the impact on DNA. "It will also directly reflect the impact on the quality and development of the fetus after the sperm and egg are combined and fertilized in the future, increasing the health risk of the fetus after birth.". The occurrence of fetal arrest during pregnancy is not excluded. However, this still needs further confirmation.
Due to the small sample size of this experiment, the research results have certain limitations. The researchers said that this study was only an exploratory study of the impact of electromagnetic radiation from laptops placed on their legs on the fertilization ability of male sperm. The preliminary results showed that electromagnetic radiation from laptops can affect the fertilization function of male sperm. This will provide basic research data for the protection of computer electromagnetic radiation.
