it's common to carry it in your pocket all day. But what if that same phone—especially the type you use and how you use it—is silently damaging your sperm and your chances of fathering children?
Learn moreIn today’s digital age, children are increasingly exposed to electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from various electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, Wi-Fi routers, and smartboards in schools. In Ghana, there is a ban on smart devices and phone usage among high school students by the Ghana Educatation ....
Read MoreElectromagnetic radiation is energy emitted from sources like mobile phones, Wi-Fi routers, televisions, microwave ovens, and other electronic devices. It includes both ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. Household electronics primarily emit non-ionizing radiation.
Contrary to popular belief, non-ionizing radiation is not entirely safe. While it doesn’t immediately break DNA like ionizing radiation does, prolonged exposure—especially at close range—can disrupt biological processes, increase oxidative stress, and potentially contribute to long-term health issues.
Common sources include mobile phones, laptops, tablets, wireless routers, smart TVs, Bluetooth devices, baby monitors, induction cookers, and even some LED lighting systems.
Repeated exposure to EMR may cause headaches, sleep disturbances, reduced fertility, hormonal imbalances, fatigue, anxiety, poor concentration, and possibly increased cancer risk. The biological effects are cumulative and can vary based on age, gender, and general health.
Yes. Children absorb more radiation due to their thinner skulls and developing nervous systems. Continuous exposure can affect their cognitive development, sleep patterns, and even behavior over time.
EMR exposure—especially before bed—can interfere with melatonin production, a hormone vital for sleep. It can also overstimulate brain activity, leading to restlessness, insomnia, and mood disturbances.
Studies suggest EMR can negatively affect sperm quality, mobility, and count in men, and disrupt ovulation and hormone levels in women. Keeping devices away from reproductive organs is recommended.
Many regulatory agencies still base safety guidelines on short-term thermal effects, ignoring the long-term biological impacts. Also, the electronics industry resists stricter regulations due to commercial interests. However, growing independent research supports the concern.
Limit screen time, turn off devices when not in use, avoid sleeping near phones or routers, use wired connections instead of Wi-Fi, and consider EMR-protection devices. Awareness and action are key.
