Germany recognized EHS in
2012 under WHO's ICD 10 GM, under classification Z58

translations of these German documents?

Does anyone know how government services and medical
practice have changed as a result?
Has the Austrian government acted following this 2012
medical association consensus paper was published?
Guideline of
the Austrian Medical Association for the diagnosis
and treatment of EMF related health problems and
illnesses (EMF Syndrome)
The Australian Federal Appeals Court just recognized EHS
triggered by a case of occupational
overexposure to EMFs. Will the govt follow suit and act
accordingly?
The Isareali Supreme Court just ordered the government to
investigate the number of children with EHS:
The Canadian Human Rights Commission adopted a policy
forbidding discrimination against people
with environmental sensitivities (ES) and published two
reports, on the medical and the legal perspectives
of ES which include chemical and electromagnetic
sensitivities:

government. Most Canadians including their doctors think EHS
is psychosomatic.
But the largest teachers union in Canada, the Elementary
Teacher's Federation of Ontario just voted to ban cellphone
use in classrooms http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2013/08/17/ontario-cell-phone-classrooms-etfo_n_3773730.html
http://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/ontario-teachers-union-wants-cell-203000914.htmlThe vote was part of a series of motions requesting that radiation from cell phones and WiFi be recognized as a potential workplace hazard for teachers.
USA 2002: The American ARCHITECTURAL AND TRANSPORTATION
BARRIERS COMPLIANCE BOARD with respect to the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
The Board recognizes that
multiple chemical
sensitivities and electromagnetic
sensitivities may be considered disabilities under the ADA if they so severely impair the
neurological, respiratory
or other functions of an individual that it substantially limits one or more of the individual’s
major life
activities. The Board plans to closely examine the needs of
this population,
and undertake activities that address accessibility issues for these individuals…
