Team Powerwatch,
I am trying to gather up all the different websites where there is government recognition of electromagnetic sensitivity, allergies, or intollerance and any website validating government rules where it is either a recognized health or disability condition.
Can people please respond with the following countries standards and any health related benefits or disability regulations:
1) United Kingdom
2) Italy
3) Germany
... any others??
I have the Switzerland and Salzburg website references in the other thread, but would like to get a comprehensive list going.
Thx...
...Gil

I have emailed you some presentations that will appear (with others) shortly on the Radiation Research Trust (UK) website. I hope they don't overload your mailbox. Apologies if they do. They show ICNIRP, WHO, Swedish and other views.
I think that only Sweden has recognised EHS as a "functional impairment". I don't think any other government has positively acknowledged the reality of low-field-level EMF/RF adverse health effects.
UK advice is on various websites in different forms. The HPA provides the main source of advice:
www.hpa.org.uk/webw/HPAweb&Page&HPAwebAutoListName/Page/1158934607698?p=1158934607698
and:
www.hpa.org.uk/webw/HPAweb&HPAwebStandard/HPAweb_C/1195733771803?p=1158934607698
(keep these links whole and paste into your browser)
The UK Department of Health is actually responsible for holding official Government advice:
www.dh.gov.uk/en/Publichealth/Healthprotection/DH_4089500
I am not sure about Germany and Italy. Italy is regional as regards EMF advice and it varies in different regions. I am not sure if either Germany or Italy actually acknowledge any low-level adverse health effects.
Precautionary advice, everywhere where it exists I think, is purely "precautionary".
Most unsatisfactory. It wouldn't happen with food or chemicals nowadays.
