Laptops and fertility study

Lab studies suggest men who use laptops may be hurting their fertility.

Researchers in Argentina took samples from 30 healthy men.

Sperm was then placed under a laptop which was downloading a program using wi-fi.

After four hours, a quarter of the sample was no longer functioning.

Experts say the study doesn’t prove laptops are a risk, but studies need to move out of the lab and into humans to find a definite answer.
