Zurich, October 20 (Bloomberg) --

Humans can be affected by electromagnetic radiation from electronic

appliances and other equipment, Tages-Anzeiger reported, citing a study by

the Zurich- based Federal Institute of Technology.

 

So-called " electrosmog'' sensitivity varies from person to person, the

Swiss paper said. It remains unclear if such radiation is a health hazard,

according to the report.

 

The study didn't consider radiation from cellular phones, which has been

blamed for causing headaches, sleep disorders, and other health problems,

the paper said.

 

Orange Communications SA, a Swiss phone-services provider, had to delay

offering services by two months last year amid Swiss citizens' opposition

to the erection of antennas, which they claim cause cancer.
