Sensitivity to electromagnetic waves ignored in health policies

Exposing radiation risk

REMEMBERING NEARFIELD is an internationally acclaimed short animated film that raises wider awareness about electrohypersensitivity (EHS).

This neglected disability is characterised by symptoms and functional impairments caused by exposure to manmade electromagnetic radiation (EMR). Although the vast majority of the population is exposed to unprecedented levels of man-made EMR there are no common health policies in place regarding EHS. 

This lack of support has long sustained societal disregard of EHS (also known as Microwave Syndrome). 

Because EHS requires greater recognition, we need a conversation about the neglected health and human rights dimensions concerning EHS. My film brings these issues sharply into focus. 

The absence of EHS from the public health conversation is deeply problematic. EMR pollution, (also called electrosmog) is a rapidly growing form of invisible environmental pollution with scientifically recognised impacts on the health of animals, plants and humans.
