當心!研究表明手機輻射會損害男性精子!

Despite all the fears about cell phone radiation, most of us still put our phones in our jean pockets.

儘管十分擔心手機輻射的問題，我們大多數人仍會把自己的手機放在牛仔褲的口袋裏。

It's easy, convenient, and any bad effects are impossible to see.

這很簡單、方便，並且也察覺不到什麼不好的影響。

But a new study warns there is conclusive evidence that men in particular need to find another storage spot.

但是一項新的研究警告稱，確實有證據表明有必要另尋放置手機的地方了，尤其是對男性來說。

A systemic review of 21 research papers on radiation shows phones placed close to a man's genitals for a prolonged period of time steadily drive down sperm count.

一項對21篇輻射研究論文的系統性回顧表明，將手機長時間置於靠近男性生殖器官的地方會穩步減少精子的數量。

The biological phenomenon is currently under fierce debate since scientists have no way to explain how non-ionizing radiation influences the body.

當前，這一生物現象備受爭議，因爲科學家們無法解釋非遊離輻射是如何影響身體的。

Without that link, many public health investigators are hesitant to say definitively that cell phones harm sperm.

由於缺乏聯繫，很多公共衛生調查人員都不敢絕對地說手機有損精子。

However, a new review by a team at Australia's University of Newcastle has collated years of evidence in an attempt to both emphasize the trend, and to identify potential causes.

然而，澳大利亞紐卡斯爾大學團隊的一項最新回顧收集了多年的證據，試圖強調這一趨勢，並確定潛在的原因。

'While this subject remains a topic of active debate, this review has considered the growing body of evidence suggesting a possible role for RF-EMR radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation induced damage of the male germ quality,' the researchers write.

研究人員們寫道，“雖然這一主題目前仍然是一個備受爭議的話題，但是我們也考慮了不斷增加的、表明射頻電磁輻射有可能會損害男子精子質量的證據。”

The data are hardly surprising, the researchers say, given the 'unique vulnerability of sperm cell'.

研究人員們表示，考慮到“精子細胞獨特的脆弱性”，這些數據並不奇怪。

Dr Moskowitz warned, the University of Newcastle review is clear evidence that 'men should not store their cellphones near their genitals'.

莫斯科維茨博士警告稱，紐卡斯爾大學的這一研究是“男性不應把手機放在靠近他們生殖器官的地方”的明顯證據。

'More intense cellphone radiation leads to more sperm damage,' he added.

他補充說道：“手機輻射越強，精子受到的損害越多。”
