Thank you very much for giving us all the opportunity to reflect on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Radiofrequency (RF) Radiation, and Wireless Radiation Exposure. I am a 52 years old Dutch woman who is elektrosensitive. I became sick in 2009. After years of nearly no sleep I found out that a celltower had been plased in my neigbourhood around the time that my sleepdisorder started. I noticed that my sleep was better when the wifirouter was off at night. And so I graduately became aware of the effects of my surrounding on my health. Because I wanted to know how others with this disorder survived I started collecting stories. And I hoped by publishing these stories in a book that our Dutch government would listen. The book came out in 2017 ("De draadloze kooi"). It has helped a lot of people but our government ignored it. Now I see our government consistently moving away from looking at us. We are an inconvenient truth. Being elektrosensitive doesn't mean that I am against technology. It means knowing how to live with technology without it weakening our health. But with nearly no one being aware of or acknowledging my condition it is very difficult to take part in society. What we need is more awareness about the dangers of EMFs, RF Radiation and Wireless Radiation Exposure, develop healthier products and change the rules of engagement (like with smoking) so our society becomes EHS-inclusive. More practical: The government can launch an awareness campaign, it can regulate the industry better by lowering radiation limits, give incentives to produce healthier products, recognize EHS as an environmental related disorder so people can get the right healthcare and give people with EHS the right to ask for reasonable adaptations if necessary. I hope all the input will give you a clear vision of what to do, and that you will be able to put it all in practice. For a better world for all of us. Thank you very much and good luck.
