Male fertility and cell phones: a new study raises the alarm

Male fertility and cell phones: a new study raises the alarm
By : Phonegate Team • 23 Mar 2025

Millions of men, especially young men, keep their cell phones in their trouser pockets for hours every day. A new study (Meta-analysis) published on March 19, 2025 in the journal “Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine” by Turkish researchers Bektas and Dasdag serves as a reminder of the potential risks of this habit on male fertility. This research, based on an analysis of 90 scientific articles, reinforces the concerns raised by Phonegate Alert.


This new study comes as the scientific community notes a considerable decline in male fertility over the last 30 years. Research shows that sperm quantity and quality have declined by around 50% since the early 1970s.

France: ANFR failings: Phonegate Alert writes to Ministers

ANFR failings: Phonegate Alert writes to Ministers
By : Phonegate Team • 18 Mar 2025

The NGO Phonegate Alert denounces the repeated failings of the National Frequency Agency (ANFR) to protect the exposure of cell phone users with regard to SAR standards, against the backdrop of the publication by Santé Publique France of alarming figures for the increase in glioblastoma among young people (233% in 20 years). In the face of ANFR’s total lack of response, Phonegate Alert is obliged to appeal directly to the relevant ministers, underlining once again their responsibility to protect public health.

Nearly half the reports not published: ANFR’s unacceptable lack of transparency

Despite repeated letters since November 2022, and multiple appeals via social networks, ANFR remains deaf to Phonegate Alert’s requests for clarification concerning the serious shortcomings in the publication of SAR data on its site open to the public.

Nearly half of the SAR test reports for non-compliant phones (26 out of 57) are missing, including that for the iPhone 12. Once again, with the announcement on March 13, 2025 of the Nokia 110 exceeding the regulatory limit, no data has been put online by ANFR!

Fig. 3 Effects of electromagnetic fields on Honeybee health: EMF exposure is proposed to induce both behavioural changes (reduced foraging, increased distress signals, and impaired navigation) and cellular/physiological effects (membrane damage, mineral imbalances, reproductive impairment, stress markers, and genic imbalances). These changes can lead to individual bee death and potentially disrupt colony dynamics and survival, which can ultimately boost the process of colony collapse disorder​ Full size image

Abstract

Biodiversity, including the diversity of pollinators such as honeybees, is crucial for ecosystem stability and sustainable development. This review highlights the complex factors contributing to Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), focusing on inadequate bee management practices, pesticide exposure, biotic stressors, nutritional deficiencies, electromagnetic fields, and climate change. These stressors are shown to interact in ways that impair honeybee health and behavior, leading to colony declines. The paper details the biological consequences of CCD, including the absence of adult worker bees, the persistence of the queen, and the lack of dead bees within the hive. The economic impact of declining honeybee populations is significant, with losses affecting crop yields, food prices, and global trade. This decline threatens agriculture, particularly in regions dependent on pollination services. The review emphasizes the interconnectedness of honeybee health with broader ecological and economic systems, calling for urgent conservation measures, improved management practices, and sustainable agricultural strategies to mitigate the negative effects of CCD. Key recommendations for future research focus on the need for regional studies, long-term monitoring, and public education on the importance of honeybee conservation.

“It is high time that the negative effects of high-frequency EMF on the brain development of children and adolescents are taken seriously!” Interview with neurobiologist Dr. Keren Grafen

Original article: „Es ist höchste Zeit, dass die negativen Auswirkungen von Hochfrequenz-EMF auf die Gehirnentwicklung von Kindern und Jugendlichen ernst genommen werden!
Interview mit der Neurobiologin Dr. Keren Grafen
Published: March 2, 2025 By: Diagnose:Funk

In her lecture in Neckartenzlingen, neurobiologist Prof. G. Teuchert-Noodt explained that brain metabolism is largely controlled by electromagnetic frequencies between 4 Hz and 30 Hz and that homeostasis in the brain is based on a sensitive interaction of these frequencies. Her institute has research results on this. It is therefore logical that external radiation, such as that generated by mobile phone radiation, has an effect on it. Dr. Keren Grafen worked at Prof. G. Teuchert-Noodt’s institute and is very familiar with the neurobiological research carried out there. Peter Hensinger interviewed her about the current state of research into the effects of mobile phone radiation (EMF) on brain metabolism.

WHO’s review on cell phone radiation and cancer cannot assure safety, renowned experts say

WHO’s review on cell phone radiation and cancer cannot assure safety, renowned experts say

Four critiques published by distinguished U.S. and international experts have documented the science showing that a World Health Organization (WHO) funded review on cell phone radiation cannot conclude cell phones are safe due to several critical errors, omissions, and conflicts of interests.

In short:

  • Experts state that the WHO review failed to follow best practices for statistical analyses, and relied heavily on lower quality and less precise, industry-tied studies.
  • The WHO review’s conclusion omitted findings of large scale animal experiments, which have demonstrated “clear evidence” of an association with cancer.
  • The WHO’s conclusions are not in alignment with seven meta-analyses that have found significant evidence of an association between heavy, long-term cellphone use (greater than ten years) and tumor risk.
  • Several authors of the WHO review have conflicts of interest, including a history of receiving industry funding for their research. .
  • All four critiques emphasize the need for a public health approach that minimizes exposure to cell phone radiation, especially for children.

NOKIA 110 SAR Alert: HMD GLOBAL OY a multi-recidivist manufacturer

NOKIA 110 SAR Alert: HMD GLOBAL OY a multi-recidivist manufacturer
By : Phonegate Team • 15 Mar 2025

The Phonegate Alert association is once again denouncing the practices of HMD GLOBAL OY, whose Nokia 110 model (TA-1543) was nabbed on March 13, 2025 by the French National Frequency Agency (ANFR) for exceeding regulatory Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) limits. This concerns the localized SAR for “limbs”, initially reaching 4.23 W/kg, before being reduced to 2.87 W/kg thanks to a software update.
