We hadn’t read many letters before we became convinced of the inherent value contained in
the extensive documentation of the experiences of those suffering from electro-hypersensitivity. We asked to have the approx. 900 A4-pages copied so that we could read all of the letters
in peace and quiet at home. Everything that had been said at the hearing was also provided in
written form, both comments from the panel and from those who had made verbal statements.
During the course of our reading, we did however discover that the supplementary material
the letter writers had sent in was not included in the box of letters that RALF had delivered
to the Ministry.
We then contacted the Swedish Council for Working Life and Social Research, FAS in abbreviated form, which, when RALF had been closed down, had taken charge of the material,
and got access to the supplementary material. The information contained there proved to be
very interesting; among other things, research reports regarding electro-hypersensitivity and
the health risks involved with electric and magnetic fields. At FAS, the letters weren’t kept in
a separate box, but rather were arranged in binders, with the supplements following each individual letter, the exceptions being those that consisted of films about electro-hypersensitive
persons, or of brochures, books or other bulky material. We also acquired copies of most of
the supplementary material and familiarized ourselves with it.
When we had read everything, we decided to use the material as the basis for a book intended as an aid to politicians, the authorities, researchers, healthcare personnel and, last but
not least, those suffering from electro-hypersensitivity themselves, so that they would be able
to make use of the experience of others in order to improve their own lives.
Just how representative those who participated in the hearing at Norra Latin on March 8,
2000 or those who wrote letters to RALF are of persons suffering from electro-hypersensitivity, is a question we asked ourselves after having read all the material. Those suffering from
EHS, who are financially well off, have a strong psyche and have the support of those around
them, seem best able to structure a tolerable life for themselves. They have had the strength
and courage to inform RALF of their experiences. The ease with which most were able to express themselves was remarkable. The percentage of those with a higher education was considerable. Equally remarkable was the ambition to describe their handicap in as much detail
as possible, for the benefit of the research group’s final report. Some of the letter writers
openly displayed their distrust over the fact that the Council for Work Life Research would
be conducting an "objective inquiry", since those supervising the process were also members
of Telia’s Scientific Council and could therefore be suspected of looking after the interests of
Telia

Artificial light may cause health problems, but the components of computers, when heated, may also be toxic.

I found that it wasn't the monitor that was making me nauseated and dizzy. Instead, I found it was the air from the inside of the computer being outputted by the fans in the back of the computer. When I better vented the room, added a top notch air cleaner and set my power settings such that the computer would effectively turn off after 15 minutes on non-use, my symptoms have largely dissappeared. After later using a laptop computer in a different and well vented room, I found most all my systems disappeared.
Although a number of people have suggested the problem relates to the monitor, I'm convinced that in many cases it's the chemicals and heavy metals that are used to manufacture the boards and contained within the computer (e.g., mercury, leaded plastics, pcbs, solder, to name just a few of the many hundreds) that are causing the problem. I imagine if the federal government tested the output from the back of the computer being pumped out by the cooling fans they'd find that many toxins are being outputted into your living or working spaces. It's funny that computers must be carefully disposed of due to the many toxins contained in them, but it's okay to use them in the house and working spaces even though they're heated up to relatively high temperatures (releasing at least some of the toxins into the air) and then cooled by fans that pumpt these toxins out into your local environment.
I'd be very interested to know whether any objective organization has ever checked this out?
