By 'EMF & H' we mean virtually everything related to the exposure of humans, animals,
and plants to EMF—and the health consequences.
This includes both the radiofrequency (RF) EMF of wireless communication and the low-frequency (LF) EMF of high-voltage power lines and household appliances connected to the grid.
RF EMF includes GSM, UMTS, LTE, 5G, C2000, smartphones, mobile phones, DECT phones, WLAN, WiFi, Bluetooth, smart meters, smart baby monitors, etc.
The term electromagnetic fields (EMF) is correct for the entire frequency range,
both RF and LF. The term electromagnetic radiation (EMF) is also used,
but by definition, we can only speak of EMF if the electric and magnetic field strengths have a specific, fixed ratio.
This condition is only met in part of the RF range (the so-called far field) and not in the near RF field (near the antenna) and not in the LF range.
Therefore, it is incorrect to speak of EMF in the entire LF range (0-100 kHz) and in the near-RF range.
Of particular importance to the relationship between EMF and health are: * the biological effects caused by these electromagnetic fields, * the health problems that (can) result from them, and * the policies of governments and physicians regarding this issue.

Do you have one
or more of the symptoms listed above?
And have these symptoms been present continuously for many months?
If you are in a different location, such as whilst on holiday, and the symptoms
disappear completely, only for the same symptoms to return with full
intensity upon your return home?
You may then be suffering from an allergy to an overdose of electromagnetic
radiation.
In the event of LONG-TERM and persistent symptoms, it is always advisable to
contact your GP.
Your GP has the knowledge and resources to investigate symptoms within a particular area or
neighbourhood and to report them to the regional Public Health Service (GGD).
A population-based study into the cause of common symptoms can then
be launched.
