This cross-sectional survey study reports the prevalence of self-reported sensitivities to multiple environmental factors, including EMFs, in Germany, Sweden, and Finland. Mild EMF-related reactions were reported by about 10% in Germany and about 5% in Nordic samples, while strong reactions were reported by a smaller proportion. The authors highlight that prevalence estimates depend on how sensitivity is classified and recommend ordinal scales to better capture severity and improve comparability across studies.
High Radiofrequency Radiation in the Surroundings of 10 Schools in Örebro, Sweden
This exposure assessment measured outdoor RF radiation from 4G/5G base stations near 10 schools in Örebro, Sweden (October 2024). The authors report maximum levels of 10,716–68,452 μW/m² and state these are far above EUROPAEM EMF guideline ranges; two locations also showed higher peak readings with a second meter. The paper frames these findings as indicating a significant health risk, particularly for children and sensitive groups, though no health outcomes were measured in this study.
