"It's very difficult to say how long the laptop can be kept safely in her lap," said Dr Sheynkin Reuters, noting that young people use the laptop for several hours every day and those who are more likely to and adding that the damage could be discovered only ten to fifteen years, when these guys will try to have kids.
Professor Sheynkin and his team studied the impact of the use of laptop on 29 healthy volunteers between 21 and 35 years, measuring the temperature of their testes before and after taking the device in her lap. Even without turning on your laptop, the temperature rose by 2.1 degrees Centigrade when the young people sat with their legs closed to balance the computer with the PC turned on, the temperature rose by 2.8 degrees to the right and 2.6 left. Testicular hyperthermia, according to the specialist, both concur that the position of the handset. The professor also noted a curious case of 'burn by computer ', which involved a 50anne who worked with the notebook in her lap. During the research used two brands of laptops, with similar results. According Sheynkin, the newer models are even more dangerous, because they heat up more.
