The UK Government's new information page on electromagnetic fields states that symptoms reported by people who consider themselves electromagnetically hypersensitive are 'not directly related' to EMFs — citing reviews by WHO, SCHEER, and AGNIR. First reported by Microwave News on Bluesky.

"The reviews suggest the symptoms reported are not directly related to electromagnetic fields (EMFs). This does not undermine the importance of the symptoms that are experienced, but it does suggest causes other than those directly related to EMFs should be considered."

— UK Government, UKHSA information page on electromagnetic fields

"EHS has no clear diagnostic criteria and there is no scientific basis to link EHS symptoms to EMF exposure. Further, EHS is not a medical diagnosis, nor is it clear that it represents a single medical problem."

— WHO, as cited in UK Government information page
