Is electrohypersensitivity (EHS), caused by mobile phone radiation, a fact or all in the imagination? It is comprehensible why the mobile phone industry declares this illness to be imaginary. It would be damaging to their business if their products were associated with the consequences of illness. However, the authorities responsible for health and radiation protection also claim that EHS is a psychological, anxiety-induced reaction. They deny connections with radiation exposure and claim that there is no underlying cause-and-effect mechanism. The available evidence for this correlation and the requirement for causality as a prerequisite for the recognition of a disease are the subject of this article, as are the reasons for discrimination against people with electrohypersensitivity.

Diagnose-Funk eV is an independent environmental and consumer protection organization in German-speaking countries that campaigns for protection against electromagnetic radiation. To this end, diagnose:funk educates people about the harmful effects of mobile phone and WLAN radiation, among other things, and calls for future-proof technical solutions for healthy telecommunications.

About EMF:data
Research database for studies and documentations on the effects of electromagnetic fields from wireless communication technologies (nonionizing radiation)
The EMF:data database provides an overview of the current state of research on nonionizing radiation emitted from cell phones, smartphones, tablets, Wi-Fi routers, DECT cordless phones, and other mobile applications. As an environmental and consumer protection organization, diagnose:funk is dedicated to assessing the current state of research on nonionizing radiation — independent and in cooperation with scientists and experts — and informing the general public and policy-makers about the latest findings. The database is an essential tool for increasing awareness among the public and policy-makers because — despite available studies about the risks of wireless radiation — findings are played down and the public is not provided with adequate protection.

Within the nucleus, the structure of the DNA deteriorates, ultimately guiding the cellular structure towards apoptosis. ROS, reactive oxygen species.” Text & graphic from: Seify M, Khalili MA, Anbari F, Koohestanidehaghi Y (2023): Detrimental effects of electromagnetic radiation emitted from cell phone on embryo morphokinetics and blastocyst viability in mice, Zygote 2024: 1-5
