After a first study showing the low correlation between modeled and perceived exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields and the importance of the latter in the non-specific symptoms and sleep disorders reported in the Dutch general population, the authors extended their research to exposure to noise and air pollution. This set of findings calls for multidisciplinary work to investigate the apparently complex interaction between perceived and real exposure in the onset of symptoms.
