Dr Olle Johansson – Electrohypersensitivity: A Functional Impairment due to a Toxic Environment?
Is electrohypersensitivity (EHS) actually the new normal?
In this informative expert briefing, Olle will cover research findings since the 1980s, beginning with the trade unions’ focus on skin changes, even though this had first been observed 100 years before. He will explain findings using various histological, histopathological and molecular tools demonstrating alterations in mast cells, dendritic cells, lymphocytes, Merkel cells, and more. The very interesting dramatic reductions of nerve fibre densities in facial skin biopsies forms a scientific base to explain electrohypersensitivity. He will show how corresponding studies in rat models rule out the impact of psychological/psychiatric factors, stress, conditioning, imagination, mass media-driven psychoses, etc.
He himself has conducted a double-blind test of electrohypersensitive persons using cell phones. He will report on open tests of normal healthy volunteers using household TV-sets and ordinary home computers. Why did it take 6 years for these to be published? He will also discuss his studies showing the connection of FM radio and malignant melanoma. He will examine the prevalence of EHS and the initial complaints – are they the same 2022 as 1982? Perhaps the most fundamental issue is: what is actually wrong here? Are we dealing with an individual functional impairment of electrohypersensitivity … or the toxic environment of electrosmog?

About the speaker:
Olle Johansson, PhD, professor of basic and applied neuroscience, retired – but still active – from the Karolinska Institute and the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, which are famous for their associations with the Nobel Prizes in Physiology or Medicine, Chemistry, and Physics, respectively. Olle Johansson is a world-leading authority in the field of electromagnetic fields and health as well as biological effects. Among his many achievements, he coined the term “screen dermatitis” which was later developed into functional impairment electrohypersensitivity, recognition of which is mainly due to his work.
He has published more than 800 original articles, reviews, book chapters and conference reports within the fields of basic and applied neuroscience, dermatoscience, epidemiology, and biophysics, and is one of the authors behind the original Bioinitiative Report, including the chapters that were published – following peer review – in the journal “Pathophysiology” (2009), as well as the Seletun Statement, The London Resolution, The Benevento Resolution and The Venice Resolution. His studies have been widely recognized in the public media, including newspapers, radio and TV as well as on the internet, both nationally and internationally, and he is a regular interview guest in magazines, journals and newspapers, and in radio shows, TV programmes, Internet-based news blogs, podcasts, video-based videos, webinars and websites.
