Abstract:

Electrohypersensitivity in Sweden is an official functional impairment. According to The National Board of Health and Welfare s questionnaire from 2009, 3.2 percent of the population aged between 18 and 80 answered that they are sensitive/hypersensitive or allergic to electric and magnetic fields, which represents just over 200 000 people. 0.4 percent said they have severe problems. This corresponds to nearly 30 000 persons who receives severe sickness-like symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, headaches, problems with sleeping and skin disorders when they are visiting electricity-intensive environments that are not bothering most of the population.

The thesis consists of theoretical studies of radio-frequency emissions and how these can be shielded as well as a survey to investigate how the country s municipalities, social insurance offices and three county councils are receiving these persons.

By the architect-oriented research methodology 'research by design' a proposal for a type-building free from electricity, which also can shield the higher frequencies from the radio-frequency radiation, is designed but not yet built.

The questionnaire survey indicates that persons with the functional impairment electrohypersensitivity very rarely receive the dwelling accessibility adaptation assistance they, according to Swedish law, are entitled to. The thesis shows what can be done by building construction to improve the living for persons with the functional impairment electrohypersensitivity.

You are very welcome!

I hereby would like to announce that my PhD student, Eva-Rut Lindberg, very successfully defended her 350-page thesis, 'Building Design for Persons with the Functional Impairment Electrohypersensitivity: a Project in the Voltage Field between Belief and Knowledge', last Friday - she was unanimously approved!

During the defense, time was devoted to the general issue about health effects of electromagnetic fields, but of course, the focus was mostly on how building design can reduce or even eliminate the impairment electrohypersensitivity, as well as on various accessibility issues (including the perspective(s) of the Swedish authorities).

The idea to construct a house without electricity I heard for the first time from Mr. Lennart Sparell at the Cancer and Allergy Foundation (which this time also funded parts of Eva-Rut s thesis work). Then I did not realize that the same thoughts were developed at the Royal Institute of Technology, and that I would supervise a highly skilled and independent student towards this very important goal.

During the doctoral dissertation act, the immediate need of continued research was pointed out several times - we all must hope that 2012 will offer just it!

Thank you so much for your support!

The Nordic Council of Ministers categorizes electrosensitivity as a work-related symptom-based diagnosis code ICD-10 (R68.8).

As you know, I have in my lectures, opinion articles, television and radio appearances, newspaper interviews and written comments pointed to the potential radiation risks for children and adolescents. However, I have always hoped that I should be wrong in my suspicions, but with these new Russian data (described below), then it is untenable to continue to expose children and adolescents! What are the responsible persons doing? How do they really think and reason? I shudder!

Professor Yury Grigoriev is Chairman of Russian National Committee on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, a member of the WHO s International Advisory Committeeon 'EMF and Health', and one of the authors of the Seletun Statement.

'It has been shown that the children s organism is more sensitive to this kind of exposure than the adult one. We have identified the following major trends of the psychophysiological indicators for child users of mobile communication: an increased number of phonemic perception disorders, abatement of efficiency, reduced indicators for the arbitrary and semantic memory, an increased fatigue. A steady decline of the parameters from high values to bottom standards has been found.'

Austria: Land of 1,000 mobile phone masts

How dangerous are mobile phone radiation? Mobile operators refer to values, self-help group calls even prohibition.

Zuletzt aktualisiert: 14.10.2011

Kärnten

A nurse who used for years a cordless phone in her service to the chest and suffered from cardiac arrhythmia. A man who feels for a wireless transmitter in his apartment, extreme temperatures, although the thermometer shows nothing suspicious. A close one Handymast residents who moved because of health problems in a dead zone.

These are just a few examples of some 70 Carinthians who feel affected by the effects of mobile phones - that's why they have come together in the self-help group 'electro-electrical sensitivity'. 'We are the only ones who dare to speak critically about this issue,' says team leader Joseph Neuschitzer.

The support group is for seven years and has been content to share in the small circle tips and advice. Now the mobile opponents go on the offensive and start a campaign with an information evening, 'which will set the discussion going,' said Neuschitzer. He cites numerous studies that would demonstrate the dangers of mobile phones. The St. Veit is also aware that the topic is controversial. 'We have powerful opponents, for which there may not be true that mobile phone for tinnitus, burnout or cancer is partly responsible. But let us not be defeated.'

Limits

As an adversary, the self-help group has chosen not small fish. The Forum for Mobile Communications (FMC), the lobbying organization of the major Austrian mobile operator takes the concerns of the Carinthian not really seriously. 'The wireless technology has existed for over 100 years and has researched basically one knows exactly, is harmful under what circumstances the technology, so there yes, it also limits. The set has the World Health Organization and are respected,' said Gregory Wagner, spokesman for the FMK. According to him are around 1,000 base stations and base stations for mobile base stations in Carinthia. A number that will increase no longer great: 'If there is an expansion, then existing only at the sites.'

For the self-help group, every single one of these sites too much, in a resolution recommending to discontinue the use of mobile phones completely. At the same time calling the opponent a mobile phone and Wi-Fi ban in all public buses, schools, hospitals, kindergartens and clinics. With their skepticism, they are not alone, the Medical Association recommends calling as short and little. Health Councillor Peter Kaiser (SPO) has published rules for mobile students.

The Kleine Zeitung is the largest regional daily newspaper in Austria, in the Provinces of Styria, Carinthia and also appears in East Tyrol. ...

'More and more damage to nature and man "

Photo © KKJosef Neuschitzer directs the self-help group against electromagnetic pollution

They call in the resolution of electromagnetic pollution and electrosensitivity an extensive mobile phone ban. Do you think that something like this goes down well in the general population?

JOSEF Neuschitzer: Such bans are nothing new, in hospitals as they are already commonplace. Of course, such a ban might sound unrealistic. But I am convinced that there are increasing dramatically in the foreseeable future, the damage to nature and to human health. Then there will be a rethink.

There will also be mobile phone-free areas and valleys, so it asks how their group?

Neuschitzer: In Germany, which is required for a long time. I've already spoken with mayors interested in Carinthia. I realize that the implementation is difficult, but basically it s all about me, the discussion about the mobile back into swing.

You can expect great support?

Neuschitzer: Many people do not realize that their complaints that their discomfort is due in large part on the mobile. First we need to propagate information and a critical approach to the art. We do not want fear.

If not a cell phone ban, what should change?

Neuschitzer: We want our activities with the Telecom Act to bring the case that the mobile radio operator allows many freedoms in operation. But politics are not interested in the topic.
