Two new research studies about electromagnetic hypersensitivity have just come out

8th March 2010

A study from Sweden looked at the differences in symptoms between people reporting sensitivity to mobile phone exposure, those with perceived general electromagnetic hypersensitivity and a control group reporting none of these.

The study used self-report questionnaires. The study authors found a difference between people reporting symptoms as a result of a specific exposure with respect to those with sensitivity to more generalised exposures. The mobile phone-sensitive group showed increased levels of exhaustion and depression but not of anxiety, somatisation, and stress; the EHS group showed increased levels for all of the conditions except for stress.

The second study from Germany looked further at the suggestion that heavy metal toxicity may play a part in electromagnetic hypersensitivity. The conclusion was that levels of lead, mercury and cadmium in the blood were not significant in most people, but could be implicated in exceptional cases.
