Is the hypersensitivity to electromagnetic fields caused by a physical mechanism or is it a psychological problem?

Over the past few years, projects related to the impact of electromagnetic field (EMF) on humans have been carried out. They were aimed at estimating the prevalence of electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) in Poland and characterization of people suffering from this syndrome. Many researchers claim that EHS is not caused by the real physical impact of EMF, but is associated with a psychological mechanism. This paper summarizes the premises of three research projects that seem to confirm this thesis.

Automated summary

In recent years, studies have been conducted on the impact of electromagnetic field (EMF) on humans, particularly focusing on electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) in Poland and the characterization of individuals affected by this syndrome. Some researchers argue that EHS is not caused by the actual physical effects of EMF, but rather by psychological mechanisms. This paper provides an overview of three research projects that support this claim.
