Environmental Illnesses - Electro-Hypersensitivity (EHS)
I propose to design an experimental testing ground for those suffering from ES. They will be able to reside in the building for a month to six weeks, To enable them more understanding of whether or not the removal of electromagnetic radiation effects relives there symptoms.

Breakspear medical group are a privet clinic that treat people and conduct research in the field of IEI they are based in Hertfordshire, England. This group assimilated there efforts with European parliament to have the World Health Organisation (WHO) classify EHS's as a disease in international medical professions. The WHO conducted experiments in 2004 with scientists in the field to gain further understanding of how non-ionising radiation effected those suffering with EHS. As suffers of EHS usually have varying symptoms and find it difficult to pin point various waves, due to this it extremely difficult for the WHO to classify it as disease. Treatment for EHS in the UK consists of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offered on the NHS to aid those suffering with metal problems. Allowing the patient to correct there behaviour and understand that the thoughts they are having are irrational. Although this treatment is seen as effective it essentially sweeps the issue under the carpet. With increasing dependence on electrical appliances it seems unlikely the WHO will enable EHS the right of being a scientifically approved disease, as it would mean a shift in infrastructure or a outcasting those with the deisese.

Environmental Illnesses (EI) is something millions of people suffer from, aliment such as asthma, eczema and allergies. The increase in harmful gasses, pollutants and overcrowding is begin to deteriorate peoples health. Many IEI's are treatable and scientifically accepted as illnesses, electro-hypersensitivity (EHS) however is not seen as an EI.
