Efek Gelombang Elektromagnetik Telepon Seluler terhadap Spermatozoa Mencit Galur BALB/C
Abstract: Nowadays, cellular
phones are widely used, but most people seem do not aware of the effect of
radio frequency electromagnetic radiation (RFEMR) on human body, especially the
male reproduction system. The objective
of this study is to investigate the
biological effects of RFEMR of cellular phone
on sperm motility and sperm
count. Sixteen mice of BALB/c strain were divided into four groups: mice in the
control group were not exposed to RFEMR, mice in the the first group were
exposed to 20 times/day intensity, the second group to 40 times/day, and the
third group to 80 times/day. Mice were
exposed to 1900MHz at specific absorption rate of 96 mW/kg for 7 days. Sperm
motility and sperm count were analyzed
by means of Oneway ANOVA using SPSS 13.0. There were highly significant
differences of sperm motility between
the exposed mice groups and the control group (p<0.01), but no significant
differences among the three exposed groups (p>0.05). There were also highly
significant differences of sperm count between the exposed groups and the
control group (p<0.01), and the differences among the three exposed group
were significant too (p<0.05). It can be concluded that exposure to cellular
phone electromagnetic radiation may reduces mice sperm motility and sperm
count.
