Summary:
This is a human provocation study that investigated whether electromagnetic fields (EMF) exposure is associated with adverse health symptoms. A total of 72 people (36 claiming to have electromagnetic hypersensitivity, EHS, and 36 controls) were given sham exposure to an MF source (the participants were blinded to the exposure). Anxiety, EMF-related worries, and other subjective symptoms were assessed via questionnaires. People who claimed to have EHS reported more symptoms and had higher levels of anxiety than the controls. The authors suggested that somatosensory amplification is the biggest contributor to EHS.
