![]() ![]() Exposures of the EHS persons to cell phone handsets are often, mistakenly, of lesser concern to EHS persons because the user can decide how and when the radiation-emitting phone handset is used. Persons claiming to be EHS are commonly more concerned with the exposures to radiation emitted by base stations and Wi-Fi devices because the radiation exposure is involuntary, not possible to regulate by the unwillingly exposed person and it is continuous in the environment, lasting 24/7. electric wiring, electric appliances, power lines, wireless communication devices and networks, is commonly, and historically, known as electromagnetic (hyper)-sensitivity (EHS) or, with its newer scientific term, idiopathic environmental intolerance attributed to electromagnetic fields (IEI-EMF). Phenomenon of sensitivity to electromagnetic radiation, like radiation emitted by e.g. It is proposed here that new studies, combining provocation approach, where volunteers are exposed to EMF, and high-throughput technologies of transcriptomics and proteomics are used to generate objective data, detecting molecular level biochemical responses of human body to EMF. The basis for it is the notion of a commonly known phenomenon of individual sensitivity, where individuals’ responses to EMF depend on the genetic and epigenetic properties of the individual. There is a need for a new direction in studying sensitivity to EMF. Such research approach produces only subjective and therefore highly unreliable data that is insufficient to prove, or to disprove, causality link between EHS and EMF. It is time to drop out psychology driven provocation studies that ask about feelings-based non-specific symptoms experienced by volunteers under EMF exposure. It is logical to consider that the sensitivity to EMF exists but the scientific methodology used to find it is of insufficient quality. However, as presented in this review, the executed to-date scientific studies, examining sensitivity to EMF, are of poor quality to find the link between EMF exposures and sensitivity symptoms of some people. ![]() So far, scientists were unable to find causality link between symptoms experienced by sensitive persons and the exposures to EMF. While the experienced symptoms are currently considered as a real life impairment, the factor causing these symptoms remains unclear. ![]() Sensitivity is characterized by a broad variety of non-specific symptoms that the sensitive people claim to experience when exposed to EMF. Part of the population considers themselves as sensitive to the man-made electromagnetic radiation (EMF) emitted by powerlines, electric wiring, electric home appliance and the wireless communication devices and networks. ![]()
