An idiographic approach to idiopathic environmental intolerance attributed to electromagnetic fields (IEI-EMF) part I. Environmental, psychosocial and clinical assessment of three individuals with severe IEI-EMF

Study of non-ionizing radiation emissions in two zones of Xochimilco, México City

“…Our results suggest that Xochimilco residents are at potential risk of developing some of the conditions related to chronic exposure to NIR, particularly behavioral problems associated with the proximity (less than 500 meters) to cellphone base stations within the signal beam that may be related to the appearance of emotional, behavioral, and interpersonal relationship problems, and even to the increase in the number of children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorders (ADHD) (Thomas et al, 2010). Although some studies discard a relation between RF-EMF low power flux densities and sleep disorders (Mohler et al, 2010), others affirm that this relation exists within 16 mW/m 2 (Lebedeva et al, 2000;Hinrikus et al, 2021), but the electro hypersensitivity of exposed subjects may also be an important factor (Hinrikus et al, 2021), as well as the so-called idiopathic environmental intolerance attributed to electromagnetic fields (Rubin et al, 2010), although this is still subject to debate (Dömötör, Ruzsa, et al, 2022;Dömötör, Szabolcs, et al, 2022;Röösli et al, 2021)this conclusion was drawn from environmental and experimental studies that are not without methodological limitations. In the current study, as part of a complex biopsychosocial approach, an ecological momentary assessment (EMA).…”
