Reduction of exposure at work
of EHS Electrical Sensitivity & Hypersensitivity

Many offices are full of electronic and electric appliances,
computers, faxes, printers, photocopiers, air conditioners,
de-humidifiers, electric fans, etc. Phones and burglar
alarms can use microwaves. Computers are increasingly
networked using microwaves. All these can make working life
unbearable for the EHS office worker.
In the community
Schools, hospitals, residential homes, shops are all full of
fluorescent lighting and other equipment that can provoke
idiopathic reactions in the EHS person, making their
tolerance level even more sensitised. Most shops have
electronic tills, and security tagging devices, for stock
control and to prevent theft. All these can produce symptoms
for the person with EHS.
Mobile phone street masts are springing up everywhere, in
residential areas, city centres, shopping malls, train and
bus stations. These can produce very severe symptoms in
people with EHS.
Transport
All modern forms of transport (Cars, trains, trams, planes,
buses and coaches) can have high levels of electromagnetic
fields. Older cars, more basic planes are usually less of a
problem. Trains are becoming more of a problem with the
addition of wireless computing facilities on board and in
stations.
Other things you might consider doing to keep as healthy as
possible
People with EHS should wear clothes and shoes made of
natural materials or even special conductive clothing and
footwear that is made for workers in the electronics
semiconductor industry. You need to have flooring that is
made of natural material, as you build up static charges
every time you move your feet. You should 'earth' yourself
frequently, by touching metal objects, or walking barefoot
on the earth. Drink plenty of 'good' water, extra to what
you take in tea and coffee, which are diuretic. People in
general suffer from sub-clinical de-hydration, and it seems
to be more of a problem for people with EHS.
Some people with EHS benefit from many complementary health
treatments. These have not had a lot of researched done, but
there is some information in the book on EHS (below).
For further information see the EMFields website
www.emfields.org for the range of Powerwatch publications,
'Electrical Hypersensitivity, a Modern Illness' which
contains detailed references to the research mentioned in
this article, and 'The Powerwatch Handbook' which has a
chapter on avoiding EHS, and plenty of practical advice on
reducing your exposure to potentially damaging
electromagnetic fields.
