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.

This cross-sectional survey of 491 participants examined symptoms associated with environmental factors, including perceived sensitivity to electromagnetic fields. Psychological traits (somatic symptom distress, somatosensory amplification, body awareness, and sensory-processing sensitivity) were positively related to each symptom domain, including EMF sensitivity. The authors conclude that sensory-processing sensitivity may be an important psychological factor associated with these symptom reports.

This review surveys the evolution, sources, and consequences of electromagnetic interference (EMI) in modern environments shaped by IoT, 5G, and smart devices. It discusses disruptions to electrical and medical devices, ecological impacts on wildlife, and potential risks to human health from EMI exposure. The paper emphasizes mitigation via advanced shielding materials, highlighting carbon-based nanomaterials as promising solutions.

This viewpoint reports results from a pilot questionnaire survey of 142 self-declared EHS/IEI-EMF individuals and argues that current evidence and tools do not allow a definitive medical diagnosis of sensitivity to low-level wireless radiation. It notes that many reported diagnoses appear anecdotal and that tests used lack scientific proof for detecting such sensitivity. The article also considers individual sensitivity plausible and calls for controlled provocation and biochemical studies to develop diagnostic biomarkers.

This exposure assessment study introduces a cost-efficient add-on sensor attached to a smartphone to quantify auto-induced uplink RF-EMF transmission across 100–6000 MHz in multiple microenvironments. Activity-based surveys were conducted in seven European countries under non-user, maximum downlink, and maximum uplink scenarios. Reported power levels were lowest for non-user scenarios and higher during active use, with variation by country, urbanization, and setting. The authors frame the work as supporting future epidemiological research and planned validation against other tools.
