{"id":"HHS-OASH-2026-0397-6197","number":"6197","name":"Ann Rosenqvist","organization":"","posted":"2026-10-28T04:00Z","received":"2026-10-20T04:00Z","body":"My comments to potential adverse health and environmental effects of RF radiation\nI live in Sweden and am posting this comment because I suffer from the disability known as electrohypersensitivity (EHS), which is well documented in the form of medical certificates, confirmed in a double-blind scientific test in Germany and, not least, through the constant ‘blind tests’ that occur in everyday life.\nMy reactions to a wireless wifi router have been documented in a scientific double-blind stress test in which heart rhythm (HRV) was clearly disrupted at a level as low as one millionth (0.000001) of the Swedish limit value of 10,000,000 μW/m² established by the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority.\nMany of my friends here in Sweden, like me, feel very unwell and are struggling to escape the radiation from wireless technology.\nIn 2015, the general public in Sweden were asked by the Public Health Agency of Sweden (Folkhälsomyndigheten) whether various environmental factors affect health. 5.2 per cent of respondents said that they were bothered by car exhaust fumes more than once a week. In large cities, 10–12.2 per cent reported being very or extremely disturbed by traffic noise.\nQuestions about “electromagnetic fields from, for example, mobile phones and antennas” and “electromagnetic fields from, for example, electrical appliances and power lines” had also been asked. 4 However, the results were not published in the same way as those for noise and car exhaust fumes.\nFollowing a request, the results were provided to the Swedish Association for the Electrohypersensitive. 35.2 per cent of respondents said that their health is negatively affected and 10.6 per cent said that their health is significantly affected by mobile phones and masts.\nOverall, 45.8 per cent reported a negative or significantly negative impact.5\nThis shows that the problem of ill health caused by radiation from wireless technology needs to be taken seriously and is considerably greater than many other serious environment-related health problems.\nI am also deeply concerned about the growing number of research reports finding that the artificial radio waves used for wireless communication – which are extremely much stronger than natural background radiation – harm plants, insects and other animals. This fact in itself poses a serious threat to human survival on this wonderful planet.\nIs radiation from wireless technology harmful? I believe the question is misguided and should instead be phrased as follows:\nHow is it possible that humans and other forms of biological life could tolerate these environmentally alien radio waves, which have never before existed in the course of evolution?\nAfter all, a prerequisite for the life and health of biological beings is that we function and communicate internally using electric fields that are so incredibly much weaker than those from wireless communication. Brain waves can be measured externally using an EEG. Naturally, the electromagnetic fields from wireless technology also penetrate the body, interfere with our own signals and cause disruption.\nThank you for your initiative in looking more closely at this issue; it gives me a glimmer of hope in the darkness!\nAnn Rosenqvist\n\nAttachments\nMy Very Restricted Life as Someone Sensitive to Wireless Technology\nMy symptoms related to electromagnetic fields and radio waves\nScientific Testing for Wireless Wi-Fi in Germany\nLong-term EMF studies on humans\nDo the EMF exposure limits work?
