Advocacy for a Cognitive Approach to ElectroHyperSensitivity Syndrome
Abstract
Electrohypersensitivity syndrome may have little to do with actual exposure to electromagnetic radiation. It instead may be better understood as a phobia explained by anxiety disorder mechanisms.

... Even though these symptoms are real, the scientific medical community does not recognize EHS as a disease and there is no scientific evidence of a causal link with EMF exposure. Several investigations have been carried out to understand this paradoxical situation, e.g., [101][102][103][104][105][106][107]. By reviewing the literature, we come to the following inference: the symptoms are real and present in EMF-exposed subjects, even though there is no evidence linking such low exposure to biological effects that exhibit such symptoms. ...
The use of electromagnetic systems in daily life is on the rise. The immediate environment, of these electromagnetic energy devices, is exposed to their emitted fields. Environmental disturbances from such exposure could be severe in many ways; one of the most important is health. This could be directly related to the human body or to healthcare sensing and interventional devices. The review of the biological effects and disturbances of medical instruments due to electromagnetic field exposure is the subject of this article. The analysis of the different types of exposure as well as their control to meet safety requirements are investigated involving energy devices covering wide ranges of power and frequency. Thus, biological effects of both wireless telecommunications tools and inductive charging systems are reviewed. Next, we survey electromagnetic disturbances in sensing and stimulation instruments joint to the human body as well as devices used in medical interventions. Means of evaluating and controlling the effects of electromagnetic fields, through electromagnetic compatibility analysis, experimentally and by numerical modeling are conferred and assessed.
