- [ANSES 2018 — collective expert review of electromagnetic hypersensitivity](https://emfbase.com/studies/anses-2018-electromagnetic-hypersensitivity): France's health agency reviewed the literature plus hearings with clinicians, researchers and affected people: no solid experimental evidence of a causal link, and an explicit recommendation that the suffering be treated as real and clinically managed.
- [What symptoms do people attribute to EMF?](https://emfbase.com/questions/what-symptoms-are-attributed-to-emf): Headache, fatigue, concentration and sleep problems, dizziness, palpitations, tinnitus and skin sensations — non-specific, not a recognised syndrome, and with many common alternative causes that WHO and ANSES say should be evaluated clinically first.
