ICBE-EMF is dedicated to the protection of humans and other species from the harmful effects of non-ionizing radiation. Of highest concern are children, pregnant women, and those with chronic health conditions including those who are Electromagnetically Hypersensitive (EHS). 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.
All biology uses electromagnetic fields as well as chemical signalling. Widely used EMF (electrical and magnetic fields) are new and very different from those found in nature, making them disruptive to normal biological functioning, even at what are labelled as low levels.
EHS is a multisystemic physical response, with symptoms that can vary among individuals due to anatomical and physiological differences. Symptoms can include sleep problems, fatigue, headache, dizziness, heart palpitation, tinnitus (ringing in the ear), skin rash, chemical sensitivity, visual, sensory, and mood disturbances. The US National Council on Disability’s 2022 Health Equity Framework, recognizes that “electrical hypersensitivity is associated with the use of wireless communications and electrical technologies and other sources of non-ionizing radiation, which may trigger disabling and life-threatening cardiac, respiratory, neurological, and other adverse physical reactions.”
The distress and disability associated with EHS is recognised by numerous social, scientific and medical organisations (WHO, 2004[I]). According to the European Commission’s EESC 2019 Report on Digitalization: Challenge for Europe, “Each day the number of EHS sufferers increases: 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, which has various names: electro-sensitivity, Wi-Fi syndrome, microwave syndrome, electromagnetic hypersensitivity, etc.”[II] As these technologies continue to expand, the incidence of EHS will grow.
Many of these exposures are involuntary and now inescapable. Common outcomes of this are job, school and home loss, separation from family and friends, inability to access medical care and general lack of access to all areas of the public domain. The unmitigated, neglected widespread disruption of lives [III], [IV] is inhumane and deeply troubling.
Our serious concern: EHS is an escalating humanitarian crisis
The European Academy for Environmental Medicine (EUROPAEM)[V] reports that EHS symptoms are occurring in response to low intensity exposures, which are orders of magnitude below the exposure limits currently supported by many governments. Current exposure limits do not protect those with EHS and there are no medical registries or trainings to facilitate appropriate registration or support for this group. Government regulatory agencies should–but do not—investigate claims of harm and update policies to ensure greater protection for, not only the health and welfare of the population[VI], but for plants and animals and their habitats as well[VII]. Due to low medical awareness, most cases of EHS are unrecognized or misdiagnosed, wasting healthcare resources due to inappropriate treatment.
ICBE-EMF has been reviewing multiple types of scientific evidence and individual case reports[VIII] closely and contributing to Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity science. 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.

Senior European scientists are reporting that people living near cell phone towers show significant changes in their genetic makeup. This is the first time that chronic exposure to cell tower radiation has been linked to unrepairable genetic damage.
A team led by Wilhelm Mosgöller of the Medical University of Vienna and Igor Belyaev of the Slovak Academy of Sciences in Bratislava contend that years of low-dose RF exposure can increase the incidence of a number of different types of chromosomal aberrations. Such changes could lead to serious, though uncertain, health consequences, including cancer and neurological disease. (Chromosomes are strands of DNA coiled around proteins.)
The new study is small —but provocative. It’s persuaded Mosgöller and Belyaev that they may have identified a “biologically plausible mechanism” for how RF radiation can cause cancer.
This is all spelled out in a paper which was posted online on May 30 in Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, a peer-reviewed journal. It’s open access.
Assessing Genetic Damage
The research team recruited 24 healthy adults with homes in rural Germany. Half lived near a mobile phone base station transmitting LTE/GSM signals at frequencies below 2.5 GHz. They were compared to 12 others, similar in most respects except for their proximity to the tower.
Blood samples were taken from the participants and were assayed for oxidative stress, DNA breaks and chromosomal damage in Belyaev’s lab in Bratislava. A double-blind protocol was followed to guard against potential biases.
The most notable finding is a statistically significant higher incidence of chromosomal aberrations among those living near the tower —the link held for exposures based on both RF measurements and distance from the transmitters.
DNA breaks and oxidative stress were found to be elevated, but neither change reached statistical significance. (Single-strand DNA breaks were significantly higher.) Mosgöller maintains that they could lead to chromosomal damage over the long-term. “It accumulates slowly over time because natural processes cannot repair a broken chromosome,” Mosgöller told me in an extended interview. “The chromosomal aberrations may only become clearly visible after years of exposure.”
Examples of chromosomal aberrations from Mosgöller and Belyaev’s paper (click to expand)
In the paper they submitted for peer review in early February, Mosgöller and Belyaev concluded:
“The most likely cause for this higher rate of chromosomal aberrations in the exposed group appear[s] to be the chronic exposure to the RF-EMF signals GSM 900 and LTE.”
But that sentence does not appear in the paper released by the journal last month.

A new paper by Peter Hensinger and Bernd I. Budzinski published in the journal umwelt-medizin-gesellschaft entitled “Why electrohypersensitivity (EHS) is a biologically expected reaction to harmful radiation” concludes that:
There is a science-based explanation as to why people become electrohypersensitive: The non-ionising radiation from wireless communication leads to oxidative cell stress, this is undisputed in science. Oxidative cell stress leads to inflammatory processes in the organism.
The claim that electrohypersensitivity cannot exist because the limit values protect against the harmful effects of electromagnetic fields is used to market digital products. The ICNIRP limits are scientifically untenable. The argument of a lack of causality is being instrumentalized to undermine the precautionary principle and thus a protection policy.
The effects of non-ionising radiation on the metabolism in the organism have been proven by over a thousand studies. These effects, triggered by EMF, are felt by people with electrohypersensitivity.
The arguments used to cast doubt on electrohypersensitivity are not based on medical-biological facts, but on business interests and expert opinions of convenience. It is damaging to the industry’s business if its products are associated with the consequences of illness. It created the “mental disorder” narrative, a marketing story to protect its products. The authorities continue to spread it and ignore the medical causes.

New peer-reviewed letter presents scientific case for retraction of conclusions of COSMOS brain tumor risk study.
TUCSON, AZ – June 26, 2024 – The International Commission on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields (ICBE-EMF) exposed major flaws with the COSMOS study of brain tumor risk from cell phone use in a letter to the editor published today in the journal Environment International, “COSMOS: A methodologically-flawed cohort study of the health effects from exposure to radiofrequency radiation from mobile phone use.”
The letter discusses serious problems with a recent COSMOS paper that provided interim results about brain tumor risk from mobile phone use. The letter calls for a retraction of the paper’s conclusions and demands that the data set be made available to independent investigators who have no industry ties.
COSMOS (“Cohort Study on Mobile Phone Use and Health”) is a 20-30-year cohort study investigating the possible health effects of long-term use of mobile phones and other wireless technologies. The study enrolled over 290,000 mobile phone users from six European countries (Denmark, Finland, France, Sweden, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom).
The ICBE-EMF is made up of a multidisciplinary consortium of scientists, doctors and related professionals who are involved with research related to the biological and health effects of electromagnetic frequencies up to and including 300 GHz. The organization makes recommendations that include and go beyond establishing numerical exposure guidelines based on the best peer-reviewed scientific research publications.

In 2023 Quinte Health, Canada introduced new policies and procedures to accommodate people with EHS and MCS in their hospitals. https://quintehealth.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/2.3.2-Accessibility-Environmental-Sensitivities-May-2023.pdf
Title: Accessibility – Environmental Sensitivities (prev. Accessibility – Multiple Chemical Sensitivities)
EXCERPT:
1. PURPOSE
People with environmental sensitivities (such as multiple chemical sensitivities or
electromagnetic hypersensitivities) may present to a Quinte Health hospital not only for treatment of reactions related to their sensitivities, but also for unrelated injuries, acute or chronic illnesses, surgeries, appointments, and other purposes. When caring for patients with environmental sensitivities, we must endeavour to prevent reactions, minimize discomfort, and avoid extended hospital stays. In doing this, we enhance the confidence and trust of patients with environmental sensitivities, reduce fear / concern from their families, and increase the likelihood of successful treatment outcomes (Marshall & Maclennan, 2001).
This policy will assist clinical staff in anticipating and meeting the needs of those with
environmental sensitivities, as well as outline the management and nursing responsibilities when caring for a patient with environmental sensitivities.
2. SCOPE
This policy applies to all Quinte Health staff and physicians when caring for patients with environmental sensitivities, such as a multiple chemical sensitivities (MCS) and / or electromagnetic hypersensitivities (EHS) illness / injury.

Pittsfield Massachusetts Mayor Peter Marchetti Proclaimed June 16, 2024 as Electromagnetic Sensitivity Day. Sixteen year old Amelia Gilardi worked on the issue for her 10th grade civics project. Her family is one of several families that documented injury from a nearby cell tower leading to the Pittsfield Board of Health voting to send a cease and desist order to Verizon.
“This right here, tonight, this is enacting meaningful change. For my civics project, I am sharing my electromagnetic sensitivity story with our legislators and municipal leaders. I am advocating for the rights and protections for all those with EMS- an environmentally induced and preventable illness. Next week myself, along with youth across Massachusetts, will have meetings with our congressman and our representatives about diseases such as EMS, the pending bills and legislation we’ve been fighting for, and the actions they can take to move the wireless harms issue forward,” stated Amerlia Gilardi.
“No one should have to choose between their home or their health, their job or their health, their school or their health when these levels of manmade radio frequency radiation can be lowered, mitigated or removed, and yet these are the choices that myself, my children and those in the electrosensitive community must face every single day,” stated Courtney Gilardi.
Pittsfield Massachusetts policymakers have been involved in several efforts towards wireless accountability. Dr. Kulbergs Pittsfield Board of Health’s letter in Support of MA Commission on Wireless Radiation and stated to elected officials that “Massachusetts cannot wait for the FCC to act. We are asking to your strong support of this bill and for a favorable report out of the Committee on Consumer Protection.”
A 2022 Letter to the Massachusetts federal delegation by the Pittsfield City Council called for FCC accountability regarding its outdated wireless radiation limits.
EHT’s new President, Dr. Kent Chamberlin, who served on the New Hampshire Commission to Study the Health and Environmental Effects of 5G was present for the proclamation. “In the three years that have passed since I first started presenting the New Hampshire commission findings, there has been a sea change in how people are receiving the message. That reception has gone from outright skepticism to a genuine desire to learn more about what is increasingly being recognized as a public health issue,” he stated in his testimony.
EHTs Theodora Scarato and Dr. Devra Davis and numerous scientific and medical experts have been involved in educating local policymakers for years in the community where local residents have tirelessly worked to remedy the situation.
Pittsfield is one of numerous communities that have passed local Proclamations related to Electromagnetic Radiation Illness and Health.

A Film by Christine S. Zipps, Zipps Media
New Documentary on Wireless Risks, “5G: Friend or Foe?”
Film shines a light on ever-expanding public health issue of significant global concern.
PRESS RELEASE
DENVER, CO – May 20, 2024. Zipps media today released the documentary film,
“5G: Friend or Foe?” for viewing on–line, free of charge. Directed and produced by
Christine Zipps, in collaboration with Scientific Advisor and Project Manager,
retired Professor Olle Johansson of the Karolinska Institute and the Royal Institute
of Technology in Sweden, the film aims to present the public and policymakers
with important factors for consideration related to the unchecked antenna
densification in our living environments without safety testing and the very
important new risks presented by the 5th generation cellular technology, or 5G.
Professor Johansson, Scientific Advisor and Project Manager, who is featured in
“5G: Friend or Foe?” along with a team of subject experts, says:
“5G as well as 4G, 3G, etc., is very much about GREED and very little about
human NEED. Also, it is sold to everyone as being safe although the
manufacturers, operators, insurance, and reinsurance companies don’t
believe that themselves.”
Paul Heroux, PhD, Professor, McGill University Medicine, and Commissioner of the
International Commission on the Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields, who
is also featured in the film, says,
“I think that industry has created within the political sphere the impression
that this radiation is inoffensive and that we don’t need to worry about it. I
disagree with this entirely.”
In producing this film Zipps media seeks to raise awareness about the pros and
cons of the widespread expansion of artificial new electromagnetic fields. The film
features subject experts who guide viewers through many considerations of this
important societal issue, and raises the question…
What type of world are we leaving our children?
With this documentary project, we have not been naive. We realize there is a lot more to consider such as other versions of wireless communication and other sources including radar, radio, and TV but for practical reasons we have used 5G as a model for discussion because 5G is on peoples’ minds. Its roll out is raising concerns all over the world, including how the non-stop exposure increases will impact our living environments.

EXTRACTS:
The roles of perinatal development, intracellular calcium [Ca2+]i, and synaptogenesis disruption are not novel in the autism/ASD literature. The focus on six mechanisms controlling synaptogenesis, each regulated by [Ca2+]i, and each aberrant in ASDs is novel. The model presented here predicts that autism epidemic causation involves central roles of both electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and chemicals. EMFs act via voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC) activation and [Ca2+]i elevation. A total of 15 autism-implicated chemical classes each act to produce [Ca2+]i elevation, 12 acting via NMDA receptor activation, and three acting via other mechanisms. The chronic nature of ASDs is explained via NO/ONOO(-) vicious cycle elevation and MeCP2 epigenetic dysfunction. Genetic causation often also involves [Ca2+]i elevation or other impacts on synaptogenesis. The literature examining each of these steps is systematically examined and found to be consistent with predictions. Approaches that may be sed for ASD prevention or treatment are discussed in connection with this special issue: The current situation and prospects for children with ASDs. Such approaches include EMF, chemical avoidance, and using nutrients and other agents to raise the levels of Nrf2. An enriched environment, vitamin D, magnesium, and omega-3s in fish oil may also be helpful.

Extracts from:
….
Let us shift now to ASD treatment and prevention. These are presented here not to give medical advice, but rather to enlighten the reader in the central issues of this special issue: The current situation and prospects for children with ASDs. Both treatment and prevention require avoidance of electronically-generated EMFs and diverse chemicals, however difficult that may be. Let us start with EMFs. There are many sources of EMFs in our living spaces, workplaces, educational and recreational environments, and even outdoors. Many of these are discussed in Section 2.1.
There are “safety guidelines” initially proposed by ICNIRP, an organization set up by the industry and these ICNIRP safety guidelines have been adopted, sometimes with minor modifications, over much of the world. The ICNIRP and similar “safety guidelines” are all based on thermal effects produced over either a 6 min or 30 min period. However, as discussed above, biological effects are caused by electric forces or time-varying magnetic forces produced by electronically-generated EMFs, and are unrelated to thermal effect “safety guidelines”. It follows that all assurances of safety based on these “safety guidelines” have no scientific merit.
Pregnant women should not use cell phones, cordless phones, should avoid Wi-Fi fields, and should use wired connections to the internet, avoid Bluetooth, should not spend time near smart meters, cell phone towers, avoid high voltage powerlines, etc. Pregnant women should avoid being in buildings with high dirty electricity in their electric powerlines. Such avoidance is very challenging. A second choice is to use shielding to protect the fetus and the young baby after birth.
You can get large shielded T-shirts to protect the fetus, wearing a regular cloth T-shirt underneath to minimize body contact. Such shielding materials have large numbers of metal (often silver) fibers. I believe that shielding mostly acts by disrupting the coherence of the EMFs, therefore greatly lowering any electric or magnetic forces. Shielding has been extensively studied in the scientific literature [271,272,273,274,275,276,277]. For example, ref. [271] states that “By using wireless technologies, we increase the influence of the electromagnetic field on the human body. The basic measures for the protection against electromagnetic radiation are: (1) shielding of the radiation source, (2) shielding of the workplace, (3) personal protective equipment, (4) reduction of radiation in the immediate vicinity of the radiation source”. [271] goes on to discuss the shielding effects of both fabrics containing tiny metal fibers and also brick walls.
You can buy shielding paint of two different types to protect yourself in your house and, if you live in an apartment, this may be the only way to protect yourself from your neighbors’ EMFs. Shielding paint can be either graphite (black) paint which can be painted over with other colors. Other more pleasant colored shielding paint can be purchased containing tiny metallic particles. You can also buy open shielding cloth to put over windows, making them into lace like curtains to lower EMF exposures coming through the windows. Similar approaches can be used after birth to protect the young baby. It is highly desirable to purchase a good EMF meter to provide information and prevent the worst exposures throughout the perinatal period.
The materials mentioned here, along with many others, can be obtained from LessEMF, an organization with which I have no commercial relationship—I have no conflict of interest here.
Magnesium supplements, vitamin D, and folates are reported to be helpful for both prevention and treatment. Raising Nrf2 was discussed as a very promising approach to ASD therapy and possibly prevention, because raising the levels of the Nrf2 transcription factor produces increases in very wide-ranging antioxidant enzymes, and also lowers NF-kappaB and inflammation, improves mitochondrial function, and also detoxifies the body of diverse carbon-containing toxicants and toxic metals. There is much evidence that raising Nrf2 is useful in ASD treatment in animal models, as well as in prevention or amelioration, when Nrf2 is raised in pregnant animal models. The use of therapeutic agents that raise Nrf2 during pregnancy must, of course, be used with great care. There is a large body of safety literature on using nutritional agents that raise Nrf2 during human pregnancies, agents that produce lowering defects in the fetus [278,279,280,281,282,283,284,285,286,287]. Ref. [285] may be especially relevant to ASD causation, because it shows that raising Nrf2 in the pregnant mother can prevent disease in the offspring. However, [278] expresses concern about raising Nrf2 to higher levels possibly producing problems during pregnancy via reductive stress. I have searched for additional literature on human or animal pregnancy and reductive stress and the only additional paper I have found is a paper on reductive stress producing lowered fetal attachment—a time period very distant from the perinatal period, which is thought to be central to ASD causation.
Agents that raise AMPK may be useful as well, although those agents that raise AMPK via lowered energy metabolism should be used with caution, especially if they are to be used during pregnancy.
Other approaches to treatment include all of the things mentioned above for prevention, but also using approaches such as putting the person with an ASD in an enriched environment, or using cognitive behavioral therapy, both of which are reported to produce clinical improvement in humans. The Hong et al., 2020 [133] study of in utero cell phone radiation exposure to induce a long-lasting, possibly ASD-like condition in rats. These same ASD aged rats were still suffering from learning disability, as well as lowered expression of three genes needed for proper synaptic structure, and aberrant synaptic properties in the rat hippocampus. Putting those aged rats in an environmentally-enriched living space allowed them to recover much learning ability, while improving synapse properties and increasing expression of the three genes involved in determining synaptic structure. The improvements in learning are associated with large improvements in synaptic structure and function. This may not be the only approach toward retraining and restructuring synapses in ASDs.
I have not said anything about avoiding chemical exposures. The best way to avoid the pesticides and glyphosate is to eat organic (in the US) or bio (in Europe) foods. Aluminum hydroxide or salts should not be eaten or injected. Aluminum in foods is often very poorly absorbed, although eating Al3+ ions with a citrate or other chelators can increase absorption by as much as 100-fold. Tea, which is fairly rich in aluminum, should not be drunk with lemon juice. Baking powder almost always has aluminum in it. The usually poor absorption of aluminum in foods means that comparing these with injected aluminum hydroxide or aluminum salts can be very misleading. Environmental exposures to PCBs and PFAS are difficult for most people to assess, although making sure people have a very good source of drinking water may be essential. Because raising Nrf2 increases detoxification of the body from both carbon-containing toxicants and toxic metals, agents that raise Nrf2 should always be considered when one is trying to minimize chemical causation of ASDs, or obtain therapeutic improvement of individuals with ASDs. People have become more aware of phthalate toxicity, allowing us to avoid some common phthalate sources. Mercury and mercurials should be avoided wherever possible.
This discussion of ASD treatment and prevention is not intended to be a complete discussion, but rather as a start, to initiate a wider discussion.
