Guideline of the Austrian Medical Association for the diagnosis and treatment of EMFrelated health problems and illnesses (EMF syndrome) 

Consensus paper of the Austrian Medical Association’s EMF Working Group ( AG-EMF) 


Adopted at the meeting of environmental medicine officers of the Regional Medical 
Association´s and the Austrian Medical Association on 3rd March 2012 in Vienna. 


Introduction 
There has been a sharp rise in unspecific, often stress-associated health problems that 
increasingly present physicians with the challenge of complex differential diagnosis. 
A cause that has been accorded little attention so far is increasing electrosmog 
exposure at home, at work and during leisure activities, occurring in addition to 
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 
associated with electrosmog. Its core element is a patient questionnaire consisting of 
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.
