This is a preliminary survey of semen quality among Danish military personnel operating mobile ground-to-air missile units that use several microwave emitting radar systems. The maximal mean exposure was estimated to be 0.01 mW/cm². The median sperm density of the military personnel was significantly low compared to the references.

The difference is either due to chance, uncontrolled bias, or nonthermal effects of transitory microwaves.
