摘要：Persons, claiming to suffer from exposure to electromagnetic fields, have been described in
the literature. In Sweden, electrohypersensitivity (EHS) is an officially fully recognized functional
impairment (i.e., it is not regarded as a disease). Survey studies show that somewhere between
230,000– 290,000 Swedish men and women – out of a population of 9,000,000 - report a variety of
symptoms when being in contact with electromagnetic field (EMF) sources. Swedish
electrohypersensitive people have their own handicap organization, The Swedish Association for the
Electrohypersensitive, which has its own website in both Swedish and English. This organization is
included in the Swedish Disability Federation (Handikappförbundens SamarbetsOrgan; HSO). One
aim of our studies has been to investigate possible alterations, in the cellular and neuronal systems of
these persons’ skin. In summary, it is evident from our preliminary data that various alterations are
present in the electrohypersensitive persons’ skin that are not indicated in the skin of normal healthy
volunteers.
