A district judge has dismissed a suit by Arthur Firstenberg who claims to suffer from electrical hypersensitivity (EHS). The suit claimed that his health had been seriously impaired by electromagnetic fields generated by cordless telephones, dimmer switches, chargers, Wi-Fi and other computer-related equipment in a neighboring house. EHS is an alleged condition in which people believe that many common ailments are caused exposure to electromagnetic fields. It is nor recognized by the scientific community as a disease. After reviewing the evidence, the judge concluded that (a) experimental studies have found no reliable evidence that people who claim to be sensitive actually experience any unusual physical reactions when exposed to electromagnetic fields, and (b) since Firstenberg could not demonstrate causation, his case must be dismissed. Firstenberg, who founded the Cellular Phone Taskforce in 1996, has been crusading against the use of wireless networks for many years.
