Abstract

Category: Public Health Tags: electrohypersensitivity, electromagnetic fields, EMF, public health, health risk, belief, scientific evidence DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2025.1603692 URL: frontiersin.org Overview There is no abstract available for this article. - Electrohypersensitivity (EHS) has attracted significant public and scientific attention due to concerns over the potential health risks of electromagnetic fields (EMFs). - This article discusses the distinction between beliefs about EMF-related health effects and what is currently known from scientific evidence. Conclusion It is important to critically assess both the beliefs and the empirical findings regarding EHS, recognizing that there is ongoing debate and concern about possible health impacts from EMF exposure.
