Do people with EHS have a lower threshold for EMFs? • Muller (2002) tested 49 EHS participants and 14 controls and found no difference between groups in detecting 50 Hz field exposures (100 V/m). • Lyskov et al (2001) exposed 20 EHS & 20 controls for 10 minutes to a 60 Hz magnetic field & found that neither group responded. However, the EHS group differed in baseline HR and electrodermal activity. • They concluded that people with EHS may have a physiological predisposition to react to physical & environmental stress.
However, • As mentioned previously, a lowered threshold to EMFs may not be a necessary condition for the development of symptoms. • What is needed are well-controlled doubleblind experiments designed to assess the impact of base-station EMFs on physiological, behavioural, cognitive & neural functions, of both EHS & control participants.
