Corrigendum to "Effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) exposure on male fertility: A systematic review of experimental studies on non-human mammals and human sperm in vitro" [Environ. Int. 185 (2024) 108509]
This 2025 corrigendum relates to a systematic review of experimental RF-EMF exposure studies on non-human mammals and human sperm in vitro. The text reports an upgrade to high certainty for the key endpoint that male RF-EMF exposure causes a significant reduction in pregnancy rate when exposed males are mated. It also reports low-to-moderate certainty evidence for reduced sperm count and vitality and increased sperm DNA damage.
Key points
- This item is a corrigendum to a 2024 systematic review on RF-EMF exposure and male fertility endpoints.
- The review evaluated 117 animal studies and 10 human sperm in vitro studies.
- The corrigendum reports an upgrade to high certainty for a significant reduction in pregnancy rate when exposed males are mated.
- The reported pregnancy-rate outcome is described as a direct reproductive endpoint rather than a proxy biomarker.
- Additional reported findings include low-to-moderate certainty for reduced sperm count.
- Additional reported findings include low-to-moderate certainty for reduced sperm vitality and increased sperm DNA damage.
