Biophysical Effect of EMR Emitted from 2.45 GHz Router on the Reproductive System of Male White Rats

This study aims to determine the impact of exposure to microwave radiation on the male reproductive system of white rats at different power densities. The experiment involved twenty blub/c white rats of 2-3 months old in good health, weighing between 23 and 30 grams. After dividing the rats randomly into 4 groups of 5 rats each, the rats were exposed to 300, 400, and 700 microwatts/cm

(μW/cm

) for 7 hours a day, over a period of 80 days. Following exposure, testicles were collected from each male group, and an investigation was conducted on the sperm. The parameters used in this study are the number of sperm cells in epididymis, the percentage of living and dead sperm cells, and the percentage of normal and abnormal sperm cells, which were all recorded for the control group (without exposure) and the test groups that were subjected to different power densities, being 300, 400, and 700 μW/cm

, respectively. Based on the obtained results, the conclusion is drawn that long-term exposure to radiation via Wi-Fi-compatible communications or any other internet connection should be avoided, because it harms the reproductive system physiologically. As the use of the router is very similar to the intensity of the waves emitted by the power device on the Internet and has a biological effect on infecting the reproductive systems of rats, the advantages of this study demonstrate the impact of microwaves at low intensities, which are comparable to the measured intensities in tablets and mobile communication devices.
