Why electrohypersensitivity (EHS) is a biologically expected reaction to harmful radiation.

Katharina Gustavs is a Building Biology Testing Specialist IBN, nutritionist, and translator on Vancouver Island / Canada. From there, she has for many years been promoting building biology in the English-speaking world. She also supervises and translates the English version of the Building Biology Correspondence Course IBN. In this interview she talks about her background and what inspires her about building biology.

For decades, the conditions around high-voltage power lines have been fairly stable, the structure and type of power grids have hardly changed, and it has been well established what types of electromagnetic fields to expect and how to measure relevant exposure levels. This is about to change now and in the future.

Everybody is talking about 5G. The electrosmog debate has been stirred up again and all those concerns about the exposure to electromagnetic fields as well. The industry in particular, but also many other people would like to have faster and more powerful data networks. Yet others are concerned about radiation risks and data security. So what can building biology contribute to the solution, what do we know so far, and what do we have to expect from the future development of our ambient wireless environment?
