Healthy disorders by WLAN-exposure

Abstract

Overview

The study investigates the potential health impacts related to WLAN exposure, particularly focusing on patients with reported burn-out and electrosensitivity symptoms.

Findings

• An investigation using electromyogram (EMG) testing on a patient complaining of burn-out and electrosensitivity revealed a dominant 10 Hz component, similar to signals from WLAN devices.
• Subsequent patient narratives and further testing indicated long-term exposure to active WLAN equipment at work.
• This exposure was consistently associated with specific EMG artifacts across multiple subjects.
• Some patients also evidenced disturbances in their electrocardiograms (ECG), possibly linked to WLAN exposure.

Conclusion

The findings highlight potential conflicts between observed health effects in patients and existing ICNIRP safety guidelines concerning WLAN electromagnetic exposure.
