Een Franse rechtbank heeft bepaald dat een vrouw die zegt aan 'wifi-allergie' te lijden, geld moet krijgen. De 39-jarige Marine Richard claimt dat ze geen gewoon leven kan leiden door de elektromagnetische straling van wifi.

Ze zegt dat ze lijdt aan het Elektromagnetische Hypersensitiviteit Syndroom (EHS). Richard heeft onder meer last van zware hoofdpijn en vergeetachtigheid.

De Française, die vroeger actief was als journalist, kan door haar gezondheidssituatie naar eigen zeggen niet meer werken. Inmiddels woont ze in een tent in een afgelegen gebied in de Franse Alpen.

800 euro

In Frankrijk wordt de ziekte EHS niet erkend, maar de rechtbank oordeelt dat Richard vanwege haar situatie geen werk meer kan verrichten. Daarom krijgt ze voor een periode van drie jaar maandelijks 800 euro.

De Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie ziet EHS wel als een gesteldheid, maar zegt dat er geen wetenschappelijk bewijs is dat de symptomen komen door elektromagnetische straling.

De WHO heeft RF straling van mobieltjes, WiFi, enz. al in 2011 ingedeeld in de klasse 'mogelijk kankerverwekkend, zie:

Landmark ruling for woman suffering electro-sensitivity from mobiles, wi-fi

A French woman has won a legal battle for disability payments after she said that her electro-sensitivity to radiation from mobile phones and wi-fi networks had made her incapable of working.

Marine Richards, 39, says the ruling by a Toulouse court is a breakthrough for other people who are electro-sensitive. Her lawyer, Alice Terrasse, described it as a legal precedent for thousands of people, even though electro-sensitivity is not yet recognised as a medical condition.

Richards, who was a radio documentary producer until her symptoms forced her to live as a recluse in a renovated barn without electricity, has been awarded a disability allowance of around 800 euros a month for three years.

The court accepted that her symptoms prevented her from working, but fell short of recognising her electro-sensitivity as a disease.

Electro-sensitivity symptoms include headaches, sleep problems, chronic fatigue, nausea and palpitations. Sufferers say they are caused by electro-magnetic radiation from mobile phones, wi-fi networks, cordless phones and tablets.

The World Health Organization does classify electro-sensitivity as a health problem, but doesn’t confirm that it is caused by exposure to electro-magnetic radiation. Health authorities in Sweden and Germany have classified it as an occupational disease.

School sued





''Isotrope found that the combined levels of access point emissions, broadcast radio and television signals, and other RFE emissions on campus comply with federal and state safety limits by a wide margin,'' the school said in a statement.

The statement also quoted from the Isotrope report, which said that levels of emissions both in the school and on the grounds ''were substantially less than one ten-thousandth (1/10,000th) of the applicable safety limits (federal and state)''.

Understanding electromagnetic fields

By Philippa Roxby, BBC News Health Reporter

Electromagnetic fields are all around us but cannot be seen.




In the UK, electromagnetic hypersensitivity is not a recognised condition.



Difficult case



''The health issue is close to a no-win in this country at the moment,'' Graham Lamburn, its technical manager, told the BBC.


''Several people in the UK have been diagnosed with electrosensitivity and received help for the disability but any financial allowance usually refers to a different name for the condition or a related condition,'' it said in a statement.
