What is ES?

We are becoming increasingly surrounded by electropollution, due to our prolific use of electricity to meet the demands of society.
Research is now showing that there is an association between exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs), produced whenever we use electricity, and adverse health effects in people and animals. People vary in their sensitivity to EMFs, and up to 20% of the population (according to Swedish research) can become electrically sensitive. The symptoms of this condition are very similar to many other allergic conditions. People with electrical sensitivity can develop a sensitivity to many different chemicals. A chemical exposure can also lead to electrical sensitivity.
Electrical sensitivity can have a variety of causes; computer monitors are believed to be one of the most common initiators of the syndrome. Mobile phones are being reported more often as initiators of the problem and we suspect that proximity to mobile phone masts, especially the new TETRA series and those classified as 'street furniture' (on pavements right outside people's bedrooms) will add to the number of people whose health will suffer with increasing sensitivity.
