From Salzgitter (Germany):
You cannot see it or smell it, but many experts fear that electrosmog could be damaging our health.
Despite its misleading name, electrosmog has nothing to do with the kind of pollution that fills many cities each summer. It is “the possible effect on health from electric, magnetic or electromagnetic fields� from electronic devices, explained Olaf Schulz of the German Federal Office for Radiation Protection here in northern Germany.
The experts said there are two forms of this radiation: low frequency electric and magnetic fields given off by washing machines, vacuum cleaners and dish washers, and high frequency electro-magnetic fields that radiate from mobile phones.
Joachim Gertenbach of the German Federal Association Against Electrosmog, based in Wuppertal, claims: “devices create electro-magnetic fields which can result in headaches, lack of concentration, allergies or immune weakness in people who are electro-sensitive.�
He warns of possible “long-term damaging effects� of electro-magnetic radiation�. Some experts believe it can cause cancer, although there is no scientific proof for this.

More than 6000 doctors in Germany have signed the Freiburger Appeal, calling on their Government to take action in the face of rapidly growing health issues that they attribute to electrosmog:

Fortunately where I live in the sticks we are not expecting electricity until around 2009.
