The International Commission on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields (ICBE-EMF) has been closely reviewing multiple types of scientific evidence and individual case reports regarding electromagnetic hypersensitivity. In July 2024, they issued a position statement entitled “Electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) is a humanitarian crisis that requires an urgent response” calling for official recognition of EMF induced injury.
Excerpts from the full statement by the International Commission on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields at ICBE-EMF.org
“We attribute the growth of EHS to the rapid expansion in anthropogenic (human-caused) electromagnetic fields. EHS symptoms may occur through use of devices or exposure to infrastructure, such as mobile phones, DECT cordless landlines, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth enabled computers, Wi-Fi routers, smart meters, base station antennas, electric vehicles, power lines, household electrical appliances and other low intensity exposures.”
“Our goal is to see EHS formally recognized as an EMF-induced external cause of injury by public health agencies worldwide, and greater recognition of the needs of those who are EHS-disabled, so they have access to safer homes, healthcare, education, employment, opportunities, amenities, and equity of access in all public domains. Such recognition should lead to increased public awareness, research funding, and strengthened calls for lower EMF exposure limits. EHS persons must be provided with low EMF spaces for residence, work, school and general public domain access. Low EMF essential spaces need to be urgently established—not just to reduce severity for people with EHS, but to broadly reduce the incidence of EHS.”
