European Economic & Social Committee public hearing on Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity - report

Electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) is causing distress and loss of quality of life to a growing number of Europeans and according to new estimates, between 3 % and 5% of the population are electro-sensitive.

The most common sources of Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR) pollution are mobile phone masts, cordless phones and Wi-Fi routers installed in the homes. All these emit microwaves permanently (24/7) in the places where they are installed.

The public meeting on 4th November 2014 was attended by about 50 people with a working group meeting in the afternoon to decide on how best to move forward on the EHS issue. The group think the European Commission should pay more attention to this issue.

Each day the number of EHS sufferers increases, and they often have to deal with the scepticism of doctors and misdiagnoses.

According to new estimates, between 3% and 5% of the population are electro-sensitive, meaning that some 13 million Europeans may suffer from this syndrome.
