Abstract Title:
[Radar radiation damages sperm quality].
Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of radar radiation on sperm quality.METHODS: A total of 348 infertile seamen were divided into 4 experimental groups according to their different lengths of exposure to radar radiation: Group 1 (n = 128) exposed for 12-36 months, Group 2 (n = 58) 37-72 m, Group 3 (n = 47) 73-108 m, Group 4 (n = 19) 109 m or more and Group 5 (n = 96) 48 m or more but free from the exposure for 6 months by then. Another 35 non-marine normal males were recruited as Control Group 1, and the first four experimental groups (n = 252) were taken as Control Group 2. Semen samples were collected from the subjects and analyzed statistically.RESULTS: Compared with the normal control, sperm concentration, sperm motility and the percentage of grade a sperm were significantly lower (P
