Mobiles 'could cut male fertility'

Radiation from the phones could cut the number of sperm a man has by a third, according to researchers from the University of Szeged in Hungary, reports the BBC.

"The research, presented to the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) meeting in Berlin, studied over 200 men.

The Hungarian study is the first to look at how electromagnetic radiation from mobiles could affect sperm.

According to Professor Hans Evers, the former chairman of the European Society of Human Reproduction, the Hungarian study"raises more questions than it answers". "Mobile phones are related to a certain lifestyle and they may be related to stress, to a heavily occupied business man rushing around from one office to another, having a lot of concerns in the life, there's all kind of things.

He said the only way to get a clearer picture would be for scientists to carry out a study which was carefully designed only to look at the effect of mobile phones on sperm".
