Guidelines for Doctors for the diagnosis and treatment of EMF related health problems and illnesses (EMF syndrome)
Consensus paper of the Austrian Medical Association's EMF Working Group
Adopted at the meeting of environmental medicine officers of the Regional Medical

"There has been a sharp rise in unspecific, often stress-associated health problems that
increasingly present physicians with the challenge of complex differential diagnosis.

chronic stress in personal and working life. It correlates with an overall situation of
chronic stress that can lead to burnout.
"How can physicians respond to this development?
"The Austrian Medical Association has developed a guideline for differential
diagnosis and potential treatment of unspecific stress-related health problems

a general assessment of stress symptoms and a specific assessment of electrosmog
exposure.
"The guideline is intended as an aid in diagnosing and treating EMF-related health
problems . . .
