Olle
Johansson’s presentation covers the historic background of electricity and
electromagnetic fields, how suspicions arose early on concerning fields and
signals producing negative health effects and how this led to today’s global
public discussion about the subject. It will also touch upon the functional
impairment electro hypersensitivity.
Scientists have researched a number of diseases caused by EMF’s and over the
coming years more links between diseases and electromagnetic radiation will be
found. The following is an example of diseases whose cause is related to emf.
